Three short stories and a novella look at the lives of Korean women and the impact of the Korean War and the division of their country on their lives. A young woman beginning a medical practice, a young girl who's proud of how she deals with her poverty, a middle-aged woman who wants a room of her own, and an elderly woman who broke with tradition by having her son's body cremated all find themselves caught in a male-dominated society that refuses to let women determine the paths that their lives will take.     http://www.abebooks.com/servlet/BookDetailsPL?bi=14094921305&searchurl=isbn=1877727938
