Kim Jiyoung is every woman. A mix of fiction and essay, Cho Nam-joo tapped directly into the heart of feminism. How far we've come as women, and how far behind we still are. Infuriating and heart-breaking at times - because no matter what, its never enough being a woman.

a book that makes you angry as a woman, to know just how far we've come for women's rights but also just how far behind we are in this patriarchy - no matter the country, the culture, the background.
