Comfort Woman: A Filipina's Story of Prostitution and Slavery

Comfort Woman: A Filipina's Story of Prostitution and Slavery under the Japanese Military (Asian Voices)
- Used Book in Good Condition
In April 1943, fifteen year old Maria Rosa Henson was taken by Japanese soldiers occupying the Philippines and forced into prostitution as a comfort woman. In this simply told yet powerfully moving autobiography, Rosa recalls her childhood as the illegitimate daughter of a wealthy landowner, her work for Huk guerillas, her wartime ordeal, and her marriage to a rebel leader who left her to raise their children alone. Her triumph against all odds is embodied by her decision to go public with the secret she had held for fifty years.
