Im Yunjidang (Korean: 임윤지당; Hanja: 任允摯堂; 1721–1793) was a Korean writer and neo-Confucian philosopher from the Joseon period.[1][2] She defended the right for a woman to become a Confucian master and argued that men and women did not differ in their human nature by interpretations of Confucianism values in moral self-cultivation and human nature.[3]
