This was a quick read that illustrates the maddening systemic and cultural misogyny that persists in South Korea. From the workplace, where women earn 63% of their male counterparts' salaries, to the home, where boys are given preferential treatment to their sisters, this book exposes many problems with modern South Korean culture by studying one (fictional) woman's life experience--which has resulted in a psychological breakdown. It is clear why this book helped to spark a feminist revolution in South Korea, and Jiyoung's story is sure to strike a nerve with women anywhere.
