  1. 1. The Women Outside

    Cover of 'The Women Outside' by Stephanie Golden

    "The Women Outside" is a non-fiction book that explores the lives of Korean women who work in clubs and bars outside U.S. military bases in South Korea. The book delves into the complex socio-economic and cultural factors that lead these women to seek employment in the camptown clubs, often as entertainers or sex workers. It examines the impact of the U.S. military presence on Korean society, the women's personal stories, and the intersection of gender, race, and imperialism. The author provides a critical analysis of the power dynamics at play and the consequences for the women who exist in these liminal spaces, often facing stigma and marginalization both within their own country and from the foreign servicemen they interact with.
