Sin Saimdang (1504-1551)
was a Korean artist and calligraphist, and the mother of the Confucian scholar Yulgok. She is often held up as a model of Confucian ideals. Her respectful nickname was Eojin Eomeoni(어진 어머니; "Wise Mother"). With her help, Yulgok became a respectable scholar. At that time it was customary for girls to learn housekeeping rather than writing, but her grandfather was of the opinion that "women must learn too," and therefore taught her to write. She had deep filial respect for her parents, and there are many stories of her being a selfless and kind sister to her siblings. When she grew up, she was an excellent wife to her husband. Her husband was very good natured, but he lacked the perseverance and will to study. It is said she even threatened to cut her hair off and become a Buddhist nun to make him concentrate on his studying.
She is the first woman to appear on a South Korean banknote, the 50,000 won note issued in June 2009. Feminist critics, however, have criticized her selection as reinforcing sexist stereotypes about women's roles.[
