Why read it?
1 author picked Comfort Women as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
This book is essential reading on the “comfort women” issue.

This English edition includes introductions by both the author and the translator, making the story accessible for English-speaking readers.
From Peipei's list on comfort women enslaved by the Japanese military.
