General Analysis

ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

Kim Jiyoung, Born 1982 by Cho Nam-ju follows the life of Kim Jiyoung, a Korean woman born in 1982, as she navigates the various stages of her life from childhood to adulthood, marriage, and motherhood. The narrative reveals the subtle and overt sexism and gender inequality that Jiyoung experiences in everyday situations, from preferential treatment towards her brother in her childhood home and harassment in her adolescence to workplace discrimination in her early career and the challenges of balancing work and family after marriage. The book explores the societal pressures and expectations placed on women in South Korea, highlighting the sacrifices they often make and the impact on their personal and professional lives.
