    Somewhat infuriating to read as a woman, this book brings up all the social inequality and injustices we have to deal with every single day. Highly recommend!

    This is a type of book that makes you both sad and angry because you find yourself and your experience as a woman in this world in between every page. Growing up and going to high school doesn't mean just that; it means suddenly getting aware of how your male classmates perceive you as something rather than someone, going to a dinner organized by your male colleagues doesn't mean just eating something with people you work with; it means sitting through their gazes as if you're an animal in a zoo and getting pregnant and starting a family means getting rid of every dream you ever had.
    The writing of this book flows so easily and is so simply written but that's because this is a harsh reality for so many women- it's those seemingly small things that society does to you that just build up inside of you and that make you start wondering "Do they even see me as a human?"
    Seriously, this book should be given to every man to read because it's crazy how unaware men are when it comes to women's experience in this patriarchal world

    Muy buen libro para poner en perspectiva las diferencias entre mujeres y hombres y las expectativas sociales de uno y otro.

    It's an ordinary story about an average ordinary woman. However, the ordinariness of this story is the best takeaway of this book. This story could be any woman's story. Kim Jiyoung is your average woman. It's a glaring reminder of the everyday struggles women face at the hands of family and society as inferior to men.

    This book doesn't call for a revolution. The heroine doesn't have a fight in her. The story is blandly written, which is great, because it keeps the ordinariness of the story on a pedestal.

    I loved reading this book. It's a super quick read. Would definitely recommend it 👌 👍
