Kim Ji-yeon is a typical name for a whole generation of Korean women. They have been accompanied by one major flaw since birth: they were born as girls - in a society where a woman apologizes even to a woman - for giving birth to a girl.
The life of the heroine of the novel, Kim Ji-yeon, is as typical as her name - since childhood, everything went to her brother, at school - to boys, and at work - to male colleagues. Ji-yeon has never seen anything wrong or unnatural in this order of things. But the everyday flow of Kim Ji-yeon's family is interrupted when she starts saying and doing strange things, frightening her relatives. What is it? A bad joke? A protest against disgusting social norms? Or is there something more serious behind it?
A novel about the difficult life of a woman in a conservative patriarchal society, despite the fact that South Korea is by no means a country backward in cultural and economic development. A frank and desperate story of the "second sex", in which hundreds of thousands of women around the world recognize themselves.
