Kim Jiyoung, Born 1982 by Cho Nam-joo

4.0

---

Microaggressions, regular aggressions, structural sexism, patriarchal norms, institutionalised sexism- it all still exists, and we all like to pretend it doesn't affect us women/afabs, but it does.

This book portrays how these things added up for Kim Jiyoung and how her life went the way it did because of these.

Heartbreaking, yet monumental.
