An incredibly informative and eye-opening small book on misogyny and gender systems prevalent in South Korea. Don't let its size fool you (my electronic edition clocked in at 102p) as there is a great deal of factual information contained in this book (I loved the inclusion of the footnotes.) and I learnt a lot.

It seemed a little short for me. I wanted to stand alongside Kim Jiyoung as she navigated motherhood, the impact that the loss of identity had on her life as well as the continual development of her mental illness and the changes that each of these facets had on both her life and her relationships. The ending however was quite fitting in that even the "good ones" amongst the patriarchy have these generational gender-bias' imprinted on them and thoughtlessly reinforce them even when attempting to break them.
