Chinese Comfort Women

Accountability and redress for Imperial Japans wartime comfort women have provoked international debate in the past two decades. While personal narratives of comfort station survivors have been published in English, there has been a dearth of information about the women forced into service in these stations in Mainland China a major theatre of the Asia-Pacific War. Through personal narratives from twelve Chinese comfort station survivors, this book reveals the unfathomable atrocities committed during the war and correlates the proliferation of comfort stations with the progression of Japans military offensive. Drawing on investigative reports, local histories, and witness testimony, Chinese Comfort Women puts a human face on Chinas war experience and on the injustices suffered by hundreds of thousands of Chinese women.
