520    "The runaway bestseller that helped launch Korea's new 
       feminist movement, Kim Jiyoung, Born 1982 follows one 
       woman's psychic deterioration in the face of rigid 
       misogyny. In a small, tidy apartment on the outskirts of 
       the frenzied metropolis of Seoul, Kim Jiyoung-a millennial
       "everywoman"-spends her days caring for her infant 
       daughter. Her husband, however, worries over a strange 
       symptom that has recently appeared: Jiyoung has begun to 
       impersonate the voices of other women-dead and alive, both
       known and unknown to her. Truly, flawlessly, completely, 
       she became that very person. As she plunges deeper into 
       this psychosis, Jiyoung's concerned husband sends her to a
       psychiatrist, who listens to her narrate her own life 
       story-from her birth to a family who expected a son, to 
       elementary school teachers who policed girls' outfits, to 
       male coworkers who installed hidden cameras in women's 
       restrooms and posted the photos online. But can her doctor
       cure her, or even discover what truly ails her? Rendered 
       in eerie prose, Kim Jiyoung, Born 1982 announces the 
       arrival of a major international writer"--|cProvided by
