This is a novel by Ji-Young Gong, published in 1993. It tells the story of the confusion and suffering of women in Korean society through three women, each leading their own, different life. It is considered to have raised the issue of discrimination and oppression inflicted on women as problem in society as a whole.

1993년 출간된 공지영의 장편소설이다. 이 작품은 서로 다른 삶을 살아가는 세 여성을 통해 한국 사회에서 여성이 겪는 혼란과 고통을 이야기한다. 여성들에게 가해지는 차별과 억압을 사회 전반의 문제로 끌어올렸다는 평가를 받는다.
