ASKReviews is still thinking about Cho Nam-Joo’s Kim Jiyoung, Born 1982, which boosted the feminist movement in South Korea. “But this is also a clever book - it takes a story that could be the story of so many women and makes it personal.” Are there books you think are important to understanding feminism?
