This study complements the burgeoning literature on South Korean
economic development by considering it from the perspective of
young female factory workers. In approaching development from this
position, Kim explores the opportunity and exploitation that
development has presented to female workers and humanizes the
notion of the 'Korean economic miracle' by examining its impact on
their lives. Kim looks at the conflicts and ambivalences of young
women as they participate in the industrial work force and
simultaneously grapple with defining their roles in respect to
marriage and motherhood within conventional family structures. The
book explores the women's individual and collective struggles to
improve their positions and examines their links with other
political forces within the labor movement. She analyses how female
workers envision their place in society, how they cope with
economic and social marginalisation in their daily lives, and how
they develop strategies for a better future.
