Chapter 7: Two Beer Bottles For Your IV

Doctor Kim’s actions illustrate a Modern Women in the mid 1990s. She was educated, part of the Workers party, and Highly decorated from a young age. Although her parents did not birth a son she held the responsibility of one because she was selected to be a doctor out of her education field position. This could be why she prides herself in values like equality and justice, which is why she would advocate for incarcerated men and children that were receiving poor medical attention.  Although in the end she still suffered the same faith as the multitude of North Korean citizens, starvation, pay cuts or no pay for her labor, poverty, and hardship in family life.
