| description | Socialist feminism, which emerged in the 1970s, aims to solve female oppression and
make a comprehensive and innovative understanding of gender, class, capitalism, and
male domination. As the mainstay of the socialist feminist school, the ideas of Hartmann
and Young make significant contributions to the development of the theory. Hartmann
first proposed dual systems theory, and Young published her single system response
shortly after. To a certain extent, Young’s new thinking and questioning of dual systems
theory also supplement and go into some of the arguments by Hartmann that are not clear
enough. Kim Jiyoung, Born 1982 is an English-translated novel written by contemporary
South Korean writer and screenwriter Cho Nam-joo. The novel was translated into English
by award-winning translator Jamie Chang in 2020. The plight of women highlighted in
this novel caused widespread controversy in the international community, especially in
East Asian countries. This article examines the oppression of women in Kim Jiyoung, Born
1982, by the long-term interaction between patriarchy and capitalism. This study adopts a research method combining theoretical
interpretation and close reading of the text.
It addresses the research gap by focusing on
a new perspective on the causes of Cho’s
female characters’ oppression through the
dual systems theory by Hartmann. |
