Comfort women' were women forced into sexual slavery by the Japanese military during the Asia-Pacific War (1937-1945). They have become symbolic of Japanese wartime atrocities across East Asia. Existing research has focused on the number of survivors, locations of 'comfort stations,' and the origins of 'comfort systems' with less attention being paid to the women themselves. This is particularly the case in China. This project explores the multiple identities of Chinese comfort women and how their lives were influenced by narratives of heroism and victimhood promoted by China's socialist government after 1949.

慰安妇是亚太战争（1937-1945）期间被日本军队强迫成为性奴的妇女。它们已成为日本战时暴行在整个东亚地区的象征。现有的研究主要集中在幸存者的数量、“慰安所”的地点以及“慰安所系统”的起源上，而很少关注女性本身。在中国尤其如此。该项目探讨了中国慰安妇的多重身份，以及 1949 年后中国社会主义政府宣扬的英雄主义和受害者故事如何影响她们的生活。
