Grandmothers, our grandmothers : remembering the "comfort women" of World War II / Han Seong-Won ; translated from Korean by Soo Kyung Lee.

Seong-won, Han, (author).

Summary:

In "Grandmothers, our grandmothers" the "comfort women" of the Japanese Imperial Army share their personal stories with us and give us their testimony. Alongside passionate advocates from younger generations, they protest on a weekly basis-- speaking for all victims of war and violations of human rights. In this book, writer and artist Han Seong-won depicts the ongoing crusade of some of war's most courageous survivor women. These women were forced into sexual slavery in Han's native Korea and other countries where the Japanese army set up military camps.
