Kim Jiyoung, Born 1982
by Cho Nam-joo
Though this is fiction, the author has incorporated facts and data into the story which lends solid credence to the overall statement she is making about what women have to endure in the world, specifically in South Korea. And that statement is that women are second class citizens - at home, in work, and in the community. It is heartbreaking to read and to know that there is no hyperbole in this story of Jiyoung, growing up and wrestling with where society has placed her.
