One drunken evening, many years on, In-yo would say that the war was won by silenced and nameless women, and it would be hard to argue with her.
There's a lot to say about this line, but hopefully, I'm saying it with the rest of the novella. One thing I want to make clear, however, is that In-yo is responsible for some of those silenced and nameless women as well. It's not an accident that in the same paragraph we have Kazu coupled with the disappeared daughter of a powerful man. I love In-yo as I have loved few of my characters, and if I love her, I'm responsible for understanding that she bears the force and the brutality of empires.
