The novel, Kim Jiyoung, Born 1982, illustrates the struggle of an ordinary Korean woman, Jiyoung, to prove her worth in a surrounding that insists on putting a feather in men’s cap, even when they do not deserve it. She is a reflection of all those women who leave their jobs and careers because of marriage, pregnancy, childbirth, and childcare or for the education of young children. Cho Nam-Joo had written this fiction to bring on the table issues that had long been sneaked under the carpet because women were taken for granted.
