How many invisible hardships does a girl have to go through before she grows up?

This is a rare phenomenal bestseller in Asia in the past 10 years, with sales exceeding 1 million copies in South Korea due to word of mouth.

The Korean Bookstore Association selected the best novels of 2017, and author Cho Nam-joo was awarded the "Writer of the Year" honor.

South Korean President Moon Jae-in, national host Yoo Jae-suk, Girls' Generation's Choi Soo-young, and BTS leader Kim Nam-joon are all reading it, but female artists who read it will be attacked personally.

The original cast of "The Crucible" and "Train to Busan" Gong Yoo and Jung Yu-mi will star in a movie of the same name soon to be released.

Introduction:

Kim Ji-young was born on April 1, 1982, in the obstetrics and gynecology department of a hospital in Seoul. She grew up in a family of six civil servants living in a 33-square-meter house.

She's just that ordinary girl you run into every day.

Since childhood, Kim Ji-young has had many confusions.

The best things in the house always went first to her younger brother, leaving her and her older sister with only the leftovers. They shared a room and a single blanket. In elementary school, she was bullied by the boy next to her. She cried and confided in her teacher, but the teacher just laughed and said, "Boys are like that. The more they like a girl, the more they'll bully her." In middle school, she was often confronted with sexual advances on the subway and bus. Even at school, she couldn't take it lightly. Some male teachers also liked to grope female students. But they often chose to endure it. After graduating from university, she joined a public relations firm. She found that while most of her colleagues were female, the senior management was almost entirely male. After get off work, she had to attend social events, endure clients' dirty jokes and endless urging for alcohol. She married at 31 and soon had a child at the urging of her elders. Following everyone's "natural" expectations, she quit her job and became a full-time mother.

Kim Ji-young felt as if she was standing in the middle of a maze. She had been searching for the exit steadily, but she found that she could never reach the end of the road.
