With the development of media framing research on the issue of comfort women, people have gradually realized that the media's interpretation of the issue of comfort women will have a considerable impact on the understanding of this issue. The image of comfort women was also established in this process. The different framings all contain different perspectives and historicities. The feminist framing is an important media framing in addition to nationalism and class. It is not only an important framing that accompanies the development of feminism, but also an important way to liberate comfort women from other framings with a new vision including women's human rights. However, the research devoted to the feminist framing has not yet been systematized and mature, and more comprehensive and in-depth research is needed. This master's thesis, as an attempt to explore the feminist framing of the issue of comfort women by the news media, also serves this purpose. For this reason, out of consideration of both locality and internationality, 40 articles on the issue of comfort women in the four English-language media of The New York Times, The Guardian, The Japan Times, and The Korea Times were selected as the material for the analysis of the feminist framing. The 20 articles from 2015 and the other 20 articles from 2021/2021 will be used as framing and critical discourse analysis to show the changes brought about by the feminist movement. The research results of this master's thesis also found that there is an inevitable connection between feminist framing and other types of framing.
