The data source is taken from the novel by Cho Nam Joo, entitled Kim Ji Young, Born 1982 which was translated into English by Jamie Chang. This study used the theory of Gender Inequality by Sylvia Walby (1990) and that there are 6 types of gender inequality, namely household production, paid work, the patriarchal state, male violence, sexuality and culture.
