Interesting red, very different from what I normally go for. Extremely enlightening ideas about how women have been treated in other countries, how they are still seeking equality. It made me rage at points considering how everything happened to Kim through her childhood, how her brother got all the best food, how she was put down by the males in her life. Even as an adult, it was heart breaking to read of her struggles with sexism at work and her motherhood. Quite an interesting read
