"A boisterous and darkly funny exploration of romance, lust, and gender norms through the lives of unconventional Korean moms. Lee Soyeon, Myeong-ok, Yeonsun, and Yeonjeong are all mothers in their mid-fifties. They are being taken advantage of--and they've had it! Inspired by his own mom's experiences, cartoonist Yeong-shin Ma crafts a refreshingly honest and unfiltered comic about a group of women who yearn for something more meaningful than what the mediocre men they love or their abusive and power-hungry employers can provide. Despite their less-than-desirable jobs, salaries, husbands, and boyfriends, these moms brazenly bulldoze their way through life, ending up in nightclubs, picket lines, motels, and even the occasional back-alley brawl--learning something about the importance of female friendship along the way."--Back cover.
