Furthermore, Kim reframes the discourse on chastity by focusing on women’s experiences and perspectives, challenging the traditional portrayal of women as marginal to Chosŏn history.Virtue That Matters illustrates the complex interplay between state-led indoctrination, socio-legal changes, and gender relations in Chosŏn Korea.
