Lolas' House: Filipino Women Living with War by M. Evelina Galang
4.0
Rating: 4.5/5 ⭐️
M. Evelina Galang a Filipina-American goes to the Philippines to interview Filipino women who were subject to sexual slavery during World War 2. It took me a while to get through this one because of the content and had to take breaks in between. It was disheartening to hear these women’s stories and how many of them were sexually abused as children. The only thing I didn’t like was Galang would insert herself and talk about her experience in the Philippines. I was hoping she would center the women instead and their stories.
Overall it was educational, heartbreaking, and shedded light on the injustice for women who were forced into sexual slavery.
