5.0

the rage I felt while reading this story was probably not enough.
the misogyny made me so mad, I lost count how often I was shaking an angry fist at the patriarchy.

I loved that the story was interspersed with factual information and that made me even angrier.
this situation that the everyday woman finds herself in is not only typical for South Korea, but can be applied to almost any westernized country.

it is a very important book that should be obligatory reading.
