Woman of Fire is a 1971 South Korean film directed by Kim Ki-young. This was the second film in Kim's Housemaid trilogy followed by Woman of Fire '82. The film is a remake of Kim's 1960 film The Housemaid.

Production and analysis

There are considerable similarities between The Housemaid and Woman of Fire, which each have the women being the breadwinner of the family before the introduction of a maid to the equation. His later films in Insect Woman (1972) and Beasts of Prey (1985) have been thought to have touched upon similar dynamics within their portrayal of weak-willed men engaging in affairs that result in trouble.

This was the feature film debut for Youn Yuh-jung, who appeared in both two further films with Kim. Decades later, when she won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress in 2021, she gave thanks to Kim for their work together.
