  1. I'm thinking of just concentrating my paper on how some Japanese women were used as "comfort women" during Wolrd War II. A lot of Japenese women were forced into the comfort stations and there is a lot of new information even though this happen since World War II. These comfort stations were referred by soldiers as whore houses since prostitution was legal in Japan at that time but then it became known as sexual slavery. So basically I only have one source that can help with my new topic which is my first one.
