but have no business cards, from the perspective of work.\u003cbr\u003e The stories of their work and lives were often considered 'unimportant'.\u003cbr\u003e I was always called someone's mother or wife rather than by my own name.\u003cbr\u003e However, even during the IMF foreign exchange crisis and the turbulent times of male superiority and female inferiority, they worked their entire lives and lived proudly, carving out their own paths.\u003cbr\u003e He plays the role of the true head of the household, from housework to outside work, and is still active as a N-jobber even at this moment.\u003cbr\u003e Data and statistics support the view that without them, society would collapse.\u003cbr\u003e But we often fail to recognize the value of their stories and work.\u003cbr\u003e Because we've never really shined a light on it, because it's so common and taken for granted.\u003cbr\u003e \"The women we met said they didn't have business cards.\u003cbr\u003e I have never taken a break from work. \u003cbr\u003e\"It's just that society didn't recognize their labor as 'work'.\" (Page 4) This book sheds light on the older sisters who don't have business cards, but whose lives

the working lives of older sisters\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The book consists of five 'commuting' sections.\u003cbr\u003e On my first commute to work, I hear the story of Son Jeong-ae, born in 1954, who started work at 4 a.m. and has been running a noodle restaurant in the same location for over 20 years.\u003cbr\u003e The story of Jeong-ae, who lived steadfastly despite the waves of bad things that came crashing down on her, opens a door to the lives and times of older sisters working. \u003cbr\u003eIn the second commute, we break the stereotype of whether women who have been in charge of household chores after marriage, called 'housewives' or 'housewives', really 'played around at home', and tell the stories of women who have taken on various tasks, from earning money to caring for their grandchildren.\u003cbr\u003e In the third commute, we explore how mother and daughter view and connect with each other's work.\u003cbr\u003e We take a look at the various aspects of women's labor in the era of male superiority and female inferiority and in the era of feminism.\u003cbr\u003e The fourth commute follows how women in rural areas navigate life in the shadow of a patriarchal system distinct from the city.\u003cbr\u003e On the fifth commute, there is a story about the older sisters who are taking on new challenges for the future, such as steady self-development and divorce.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThe 11 'interviews' contained in the 5 commutes are vividly presented in various formats, such as Q\u0026amp;A and monologue, tailored to each character's life.\u003cbr\u003e This depth of interview is possible thanks to months of reporting, five to six meetings with each person, and sometimes even two days and one night.\u003cbr\u003e This is not just a simple collection of interviews.\u003cbr\u003e In the 'Insight' corner, we follow the lives of our older sisters through statistics and data analysis.\u003cbr\u003e We examined various data showing women's lives, from the Economic Planning Board's 1963 Korea Statistical Yearbook to Statistics Korea's 2021 microdata, as well as legal changes related to women's employment since the enactment of the Labor Standards Act in 1953.\u003cbr\u003e Data, numbers, and graphs powerfully support the value of their lives and work.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003ePride in work, a confident and warm attitude toward life\u003cbr\u003e Support and solidarity from older sisters\u003cbr\u003e “Live happily, don’t live

is said that among the older sisters, there were some who felt burdened by the interview request.\u003cbr\u003e However, in the process of unraveling his work and life, he discovers that he loves his work and says, “I’m pretty cool,” and he doesn’t hide his pride in his work.\u003cbr\u003e Every sentence is filled with that feeling.\u003cbr\u003e In that story, we can discover the value of work and gain hints and strength to be proud of our work.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e “It’s impossible for people to live without stress.\u003cbr\u003e But I think I'll feel less stressed if I do what I like.\u003cbr\u003e “I tell my kids to work hard and just rest when it’s time to rest.” (p. 37), “Anyone can achieve what they want as long as they set goals and don’t get too greedy. \u003cbr\u003e“You just have to keep growing it by getting lost in the thought of ‘I’ll do it’” (p. 169), “I’m not afraid or scared of doing something new.\u003cbr\u003e “If you don’t know, you can learn.” (p. 262)\u003cbr\u003e Feel the message and encouragement that only older sisters can convey, who have steadfastly forged ahead in life even amidst the waves of
