But she quickly begins to exhibit strange symptoms that alarm her husband, parents, and in-laws: Jiyoung impersonates the voices of other women-alive and even dead, both known and unknown to her. A thirtysomething-year-old “millennial everywoman,” she has recently left her white-collar desk job-in order to care for her newborn daughter full-time-as so many Korean women are expected to do. In a small, tidy apartment on the outskirts of the frenzied metropolis of Seoul lives Kim Jiyoung. Truly, flawlessly, completely, she became that person.
A fierce international bestseller that launched Korea’s new feminist movement, Kim Jiyoung, Born 1982 follows one woman’s psychic deterioration in the face of rigid misogyny.
