> This is depicted In short stories written by Han Kang where women become ‘plants’, a decor in one’s home, stripped of their personalities.

Are there English translations available? I will definitely like to read these.

Although, I find it going too easy on patriarchy.

In oppressive patriarchies, women are:

- servants during the day doing the cooking, cleaning, child-bearing, washing, taking care of the previous generation, etc.

- prostitutes during the night.

I've read the story and honestly don't see why it became so famous - guess I'm not an "artsy" type. It's a story of batshit crazy people doing crazy things. You may like the story, but if your goal is to understand gender issues in Korea, you will be disappointed.
