 Miss Kim Knows, a collection of stories about women, is the perfect book to cap off International Women's Month. Cho Nam-joo writes concisely and candidly about women from all walks of life and ages in Korea. These are stories about family, love, friendship, motherhood, getting old, pursuing one's lifelong dream and the work culture in Korea. Some stories depict gender violence and discrimination that are issues affecting women globally. It's an amazing work written by a woman about women.
