For all the Westerners who still fantasize about the sweet and docile Asian woman like Miss Saigon , I'd say , "Wake up! Your Miss Saigon was dead and gone a long time ago. She's not here anymore."
I don't read much nonfiction books , preferring to receive my history from online articles or current stories . As an avid kpop and kdrama fan , who's active on social media , I've always assumed myself to be midly aware of main core issues of South Korea . After all , it's impossible to interact with a space so intimately and not walk away with some knowledge, right? I was wrong. So very , very wrong and to the women of South Korea I deeply apologize for my ignorance.
I've heard about the Burning Sun crimes and the station stabbing , but reading this book? Reading it after learning about all the pain that came before those horride crime , about how hard South Korean women fought and continue to fight has been another reminder on the dangers of femicide and gender-based violence. Misogyny is a danger and threat to us all , and the feminist movement of South Korea is a beautiful but harrowing example to us all.
"If there's a book you want to read , but it hasn't been written yet , then you must write it.
I took me 21 days to read this book. A lot of things in it were very triggering for me but I'm extremely glad I finished. Even when one understands intersectionality , it's important to continuously read stories from people outside of your based community. I'm proud of South Korean women, proud that they were able to use examples of women outside of SK as a foothold to what they seek to achieve . I hope they know women all across-the-board are rooting for them and their freedom. May we all see change in this lifetime.
