Simply looking at some people’s lives gives us courage to readjust our life directions. “Harmonizer,” an activist from Ecofeminists United, who needed encouragement to take on a new phase of her life, met with her seniors and colleagues who had walked resolutely on their own paths, and she put their stories together in this book.
One thing these women all have in common is that they are ecofeminists. From Yim Soon-rye, film director of Little Forest, Go Eun-yeong, a young politician in Jeju Province, Na Yeong, an activist for the legalization of abortion, Lin, a vegan chef, Ji Sup of Fox Bookstore, a model for sustainable management, Kim-Shin Hyo-jeong, a researcher on native seeds, Chae Eun-sun, a manager of a feminist and creative culture group, Moana, a neighborhood feminist, Mun Seong-hi, a researcher on cooking to care for one’s body, and to An Hye-gyeong, a musician who bakes. Although their lifestyles, jobs, and personalities all differ, their stories told from their own experiences will give great energy and encouragement to readers.
In a World Gone Wrong, I Try to Live Right is a book offering encouragement and clear directions for women standing confused at the threshold of their adult lives. How much you know about ecofeminism does not matter. Whoever opens this book to read will be the thirteenth woman ready to find her greatness. Welcome!
