The mother's love for her child is very strong in Korean society - almost on the borderline of being an obsession.

There are lots of different ways for women to be a mom in this culture.

I just happen to believe that what's at stake in the early child's development is so vital and so important, and I think it is founded in the main, in the broad cultural sense, on the relationship between the mother and child.

It's complicated coming from a culture where to be a mother is more important than to have a career.

My parents were born in Korea. They spent a good part of their life in Korea.

MoMA is one of the world's most admired cultural institutions.

I think it is important for working moms to recognize that family is the most important.

My parents kept the best aspects of the Asian culture, and they Americanized the family. My mother was a great example for me. She was a working mother with a good career.

Motherhood is a great honor and privilege, yet it is also synonymous with servanthood. Every day women are called upon to selflessly meet the needs of their families. Whether they are awake at night nursing a baby, spending their time and money on less-than-grateful teenagers, or preparing meals, moms continuously put others before themselves.
