Kim Ji-young is an "ordinary woman" in her thirties, with a husband and daughter and a home in the suburbs. One day she begins to behave abnormally, and her concerned husband arranges for her to attend counseling sessions. The doctor's notes of their conversations with Ji-young reveal her experiences as an "ordinary woman" living with discrimination and sexism.

Review of '82-yŏnsaeng Kim Chi-yŏng' on 'Goodreads'

A pretty interesting feminist treatise. I just don’t feel like the book delved deep enough into its subject matter. I also felt that because the book is so short the characters weren’t fully developed. A longer book with a deeper look at Kim Jiyoung’s diagnosis would’ve been better in my opinion.
