In South Korea, as awareness of gender equality increased since the 1990s, policies for gender equality and social awareness of equality have been established. Until recently, however, the gap between men and women in social and economic activities has not reached the globally desired level and led to social conflict throughout the country.

This paper examines gender trouble in the future society from Huxley's Brave New World, in which science is highly developed. In addition, I examined how gender equality was achieved in the World State in which equality and identity were emphasized, and considered the precise meaning of gender equality. Superficially, there are many gender inequality factors in the Reservation, and gender equality is achieved in the World State.
