Yoo Young-so: Women Change the World: Korea Edition

"Women Change the World: Korea Edition" is a collection of stories about great women designed to present upright and valuable life models to growing children. The Korean edition newly selects Korean women who triumphantly shattered societal stereotypes and became the first and best in various fields—including economics, society, culture, and art—vividly recounting their passion, spirit of challenge, and fierce efforts to achieve their dreams. Through these stories, children learn that they can transcend prejudice and limitations and become the center of the world through passion. From Kim Man-deok, a great merchant who entered the commercial world during the Joseon Dynasty when gender roles were strictly separated, became immensely wealthy, and practiced generous sharing by donating her fortune to the starving people of Jeju, to Kwon Ki-ok, Korea's first female aviator who went into exile in China after the independence movement and fought against the Japanese military as a Chinese Air Force pilot, readers can encounter the stories of women who achieved their dreams without giving up until the very end, even amidst adversity.
