520    From 1932 to 1945, the Japanese military forced hundreds 
       of thousands of women across Asia into "comfort stations" 
       where they were repeatedly raped and tortured. This volume
       features the personal narratives of twelve women who were 
       kidnapped and forced into sexual slavery. In exposing 
       previously hidden aspects of the system, it also exposes 
       the full extent of the injustices suffered by these women,
       and the conditions that caused them. 
520    "Accountability and redress for Imperial Japan's wartime 
       "comfort women" have provoked international debate in the 
       past two decades. Yet there has been a dearth of first-
       hand accounts available in English from the women abducted
       and enslaved by the Japanese military in Mainland China --
       the major theatre of the Asia-Pacific War. Chinese Comfort
       Women features the personal stories of the survivors of 
       this devastating system of sexual enslavement. Offering 
       insight into the conditions of these women's lives prior 
       to and after the war, it points to the social, cultural, 
       and political environments that prolonged their suffering.
       Through personal narratives from twelve Chinese "comfort 
       station" survivors, this book reveals the unfathomable 
       atrocities committed against women during the war and 
       correlates the proliferation of "comfort stations" with 
       the progression of Japan's military offensive. Drawing on 
       investigative reports, local histories, and witness 
       testimony, Chinese Comfort Women puts a human face on 
       China's war experience and on the injustices suffered by 
       hundreds of thousands of Chinese women." -- Publisher's
