NOTES FROM 9TAILEDVIXEN’S 2ND WEEK OF SEPTEMBER 2024:
1. This Week in Life
Fell and hit my good knee on some steps after Tuesday Yoga class. Said knee promptly bled through my favourite Yoga pants and I had to hobble home as quickly as I could to get the bloodstains out.
Sigh… life is not a picnic when one is chronically clumsy.
2. This Week in Korean Women’s News
1. Han Kang wins the Nobel Prize for Literature!
Han Kang, author of the Booker Prize-winning novel The Vegetarian, has become the first Korean and the first Asian woman to win the Nobel Prize for Literature. I would say she achieved this IN SPITE OF the toxic Confucian patriarchy of South Korea. CONGRATULATIONS, MS. HAN!

Best of all, South Korea’s Incel President is obligated to congratulate her (a woman – the gender he despises):
2. In their 80s, these South Korean women learned reading and rap
Born at a time when women were often marginalized in education, Park Jeom-Sun and her friends were among a group of older adults learning how to read and write the Korean alphabet, hangeul, at a community center in their farming village in South Korea’s rural southeast.
They were having so much fun that they started dabbling with poetry. They began writing and performing rap in summer last year.
3. South Korean woman sues government over abduction, adoption of child to U.S.
A 70-year-old South Korean woman sued her government, an adoption agency and an orphanage over the adoption of her daughter, who was sent to the United States in 1976, months after she was kidnapped at age four.
It’s the first known case of a Korean birth parent suing the government and an adoption agency for damages over the wrongful adoption of their child, said Kim Soo-jung, one of the lawyers representing Han Tae-soon.
