North Korea's Women-led Grassroots Capitalism, Hardback Book

North Korea's Women-led Grassroots Capitalism Hardback

Part of the ASAA Women in Asia Series series

Hardback

Description

North Korea is in the throes of economic and social, if not political, transition.

These changes have a pronounced gender dimension: the crisis of the command economy and the gradual emergence of an informal market economy, where, remarkably, the vast majority of North Korea’s traders and merchants are women.

This book examines the complex relationship between gender roles and economic and social changes in North Korea.

The book, based on extensive original research, provides rich details of this development, considers how women’s roles in North Korea have developed over time and highlights how women are driving change in other areas of North Korean life too, including family relationships, women’s sexuality and reproductive issues and women’s cultural identity.
