1. A ferroelectric memory, comprising:
a memory cell block of plural serially connected memory cells each including a cell transistor and a ferroelectric capacitor connected in parallel therewith;
a cell transistor resistance measuring circuit configured to measure a resistance of the cell transistor;
a word line voltage controller configured to control a word line voltage applied to a gate of the cell transistor based on the resistance of the cell transistor; and
a word line voltage generator configured to generate the word line voltage.
