Kang Jeongildang
She married the scholar Yun Gwangyeon (尹光演, 윤광연, 1778-1838). Because of their poverty, her spouse could not afford to work for their support and study at the same time, so she supported them both by knitting while he studied. In parallel, she composed many poems of her own.
Kang Jeongildang (1772-1832), was a Korean poet.
After her death, her widower published her collected works in Jeongildang-yugo (1836), containing 150 writings, among them 38 poems and 82 letters.
