THROUGH FORCE AND FRAUD, somewhere between 60,000 and 200,000 girls and women were conscripted into service as "comfort women" during the years of Japan's consolidation of its empire in the Pacific region. Of this number, whose range is so vast because of the continuing unavailability of specific data, some 80-90 percent is said to have been taken from Korea. Other Japan-occupied countries, including Taiwan, China, the Philippines, and Indonesia, served as sources for the remaining percentage. 1 In the past decade, information regarding these "comfort women," or "military sex slaves," as they have also been called, has begun to circulate widely in both popular and academic U.S. arenas. This issue of JAAS responds to that phenomenon
