Kim Ji-young, Born 1982, tells the story of a young, stay-at-home mother who develops psychosis, largely due to her experiences with everyday sexism. Written in just two months, the novel’s style is straightforward, and the content grapples with sexism that most women can relate to on some level. The name ‘Kim Ji-young’ is considered the Korean equivalent to ‘Jane Doe,’ an everywoman. Cho Nam-Joo’s novel provides a perfect springboard to discuss accepted acts of sexism that are ingrained in our cultural and legal institutions.
