About this listen
Brought to you by Penguin.
At some point between living alone and becoming single, Hwang Sunwoo and Kim Hana found each other, and decided to live together in a nice apartment where their four cats would finally have the freedom to run around. Together they became a family—and redefined it.
At a time housing costs have skyrocketed whilst the birth rates plummets, these two independent Korean women in their late forties share their views on society and its expectations of them. And, intent neither to marry or to live alone, they reflect on the comfort of their cohabiting friendship as it blossoms into a life full of joy and meaning.
From housing insecurity and access to health care, to solo dining and stigmatised cat ladies, the loaded, self-sacrificing demands of filial piety and obligations to in-laws, TWO WOMEN LIVING TOGETHER impugns social scripts by spelling them out plainly. But also, and especially, by showing what it’s like to choose differently.
Quietly radical, full of warmth and wit, WOMEN LIVING TOGETHER celebrates carving out your own path, cats, female friendship, and a different kind of family.
