In an era marked by atrocities perpetrated on a grand scale, the tragedy of the comfort women - mostly Korean women forced into prostitution by Japanese army - endures as one of the darkest events of World War II. This study reveals that the forces of Japanese colonialism and Korean patriarchy together determined the fate of Korean comfort women.
