This is one of those books that somehow manages to simultaneously frustrate and empower. Jiyoung IS every woman, and I appreciated how the author used a character to embody the experience of women in South Korea (with handy footnoted data sources to boot). The book follows Jiyoung through her life stages and the various ways in which misogyny impacts women in these life stages.
