Kim Jiyoung, Born 1982 could be a good read for anyone interested in understanding the struggles of modern women against misogyny and institutional oppression.

This socially charged novel is a must-read, especially for those who want to be sensitized to the pervasive gender biases and microaggressions in our society.
