Creation of a New Textbook
     Professor Fujioka of Tokyo University has been 
     one of the leading scholars denying 
     the involvement of the Japanese government
     in this phenomenon.

Foreign Correspondents Ask 
[Fujioka] about 'Comfort Women'
     A follow-up site for the above one

This is to be a work in progress, started 28 May 2000.
 After viewing the documentary "Silence Broken: Korean
 Comfort Women" (shown on PBS 18 May 2000), I am more than
 convinced that this is an issue that must be brought to
 the international forefront, not only because of its
 prominence as a feminist topic but also because of:
 
(1) Japan's (and even Asia's) growing international
 importance and 
(2) the way in which this issue represents Japan's past and 
present relationship with Asia and her way of coming to 
terms with her own war crimes during the 
Second World War.  

I am compiling research (internet-based, for now) in
 order to obtain a detailed and comprehensive glimpse
 of this issue as well as to share it with others who
 are interested and hopefully spread awareness of it,
 since for the most part, I am sure this topic is not
 covered in high school history textbooks in the 
United States.  

As i have just now begun researching, for now, all i 
can share are several good links i have come across. 
But check back every so often for i will be adding
more of my findings periodically.  

If you have information on comfort women that you can 
share with me, or any sources I can check out, please 
email me at Chennee@aol.com.  I truly appreciate it.
