Abstract

Women make up almost half of the world's population, nearly 49.73 per cent. However, they endure discrimination in multiple ways. They face sex and gender discrimination worldwide. Even with advancements in education, employment, and political representation, women remain victims of systemic inequalities stemming from both gender and sex discrimination. This research paper discusses the marginalisation of women in their homes, schools, and workplaces. It studies the discrimination of women in society through Cho Nam-Joo’s novel Kim Jiyoung, Born 1982, which reflects the lived experiences of numerous women confronting patriarchal systems in modern society. This study employs a qualitative research methodology. It aligns with critical theoretical frameworks, such as genderism, sexism, otherness, and feminism.
