it was amazing
bookshelves: favourites

can someone make it mandatory for every man to read this book??

unfortunately this was very relatable but i guess also comforting at the same time to know i’m not the only one who has experienced things like this.

it was very short, only 163 pages, but packed in so many different situations that illustrated pretty much every struggle a woman is subjected to in her life. from sexual harassment to mother shaming, it really had it all.

of course i was left angry, upset and frustrated because: why is our world like this?? 🙃 but i did find it very interesting to specifically tap into the Korean female experience and struggles they have that may be different to mine.

*huff* if someone tells you there’s no need for feminism anymore, tell them to read this book!
