 The final modern Buddhist figure we consider is the Buddhist nun Kim Iryŏp (1896–1971) and her feminist and Buddhist philosophy. As a leader of the feminist “new woman (sinyŏsŏng)”, she actively pursued engagement with cultural and social issues, and promoted women’s self-awareness, freedom (including sexual freedom), and rights in the context of the complex intersection of traditional Korean Confucian society, Westernization and modernization, and Japanese colonial domination. In her vision, we find Buddhist and religious training make an important contribution to the construction of a virtuous human society (Kim Iryŏp 2014; Park  2017).
