This paper starts with a question why women within Korean Pentecostal-Charismatic movement have occupied a marginal position, even though they played an inevitable role for the spread and establishment of the movement in Korean society. At first, the so called 'women-friendly' character of Pentecostal-Charismatic movement is examined, as examples of a group of female leaders who exercised their influence over the movement, especially at the initial phase. Secondly, recent works of Western researchers on the subject "Pentecostal-Charismatic movement and women" were critically reviewed. Particularly, 'gender-paradox' theory is scrutinized, which is often applied by the Western researchers to explain why women take part in conservative and even fundamental religious movements as Pentecostal-Charismatic movement, shifting the responsibility for the persistence of patriarchal religions to women themselves in a subtile way. Thirdly, - unlike the recent research trend in the West, which give prominence to women's subjective experience - from a broader perspective the mechanism is investigated that keeps women to be subsumed under the hierarchical/patriarchal order in this movement. The mechanism is analysed at three levels, namely institutional, organizational, and ideological, by giving examples of 'women policy' of the Yoido Full Gospel Church, and the teaching of Duranno Father School which is affiliated with the Onnuri Church.
