520 $a"This is the definitive account, available for the first time in English, of sexual slavery in the Japanese military during World War II. The system in which untold thousands of women, euphemistically known as "comfort women," were rounded up and imprisoned in "comfort stations" established and maintained by the Japanese military seized public attention in 1991 when three Korean women filed suit in Tokyo District Court charging that they were forced into sexual servitude and demanding compensation. Since then the comfort stations and their significance have been the subject of ongoing debate and intense activism in Japan. How large a role did the military, and by extension the government, play in setting up and administering these camps? What type of compensation, if any, is due to the victimized women? These issues figure prominently in the current Japanese focus on public memory and arguments about the teaching and writing of history, and are central to efforts to transform certain all-too-comfortable Japanese ways of remembering the war." ~Provided by publisher
