Fusing audience research and ethnography,the bookpresents a compelling account of women’s changing lives and identities in relation to the impact of the most popular media culture in everyday life: television.

The book argues that television is an important resource for women, stimulating them to research their own lives and identities.

Based on original empirical research, the book explores the hopes, aspirations, frustrations and dilemmas of Korean women as they try to cope with life beyond traditional grounds.
