Nancy Jooyoun Kim Quote: “She wondered how many women had been trapped – in terrible marriages, terrible jobs, unbearable circumstances – simply because the world hadn’t been designed to allow them to thrive on their own.

A woman who imagined her own way out would always be ostracized for her own strength.”
