Tells the stories, in unprecedented detail, of sixteen surviving Filipino ""comfort women"". M. Evelina Galang began researching these stories in the 1990s as 173 lolas, ""grannies"" in Tagalog, emerged after decades of shame and silence. Galang enters into the lives of the surviving women at Lolas' House, a community center for comfort women's organising in metro Manila.
During World War II more than one thousand Filipinas were kidnapped by the Imperial Japanese Army. Lolas’ House tells the stories of sixteen surviving Filipino “comfort women.”
M. Evelina Galang enters into the lives of the women at Lolas’ House, a community center in metro Manila. She accompanies them to the sites of their abduction and protests with them at the gates of the Japanese embassy. Each woman gives her testimony, and even though the women relive their horror at each telling, they offer their stories so that no woman anywhere should suffer wartime rape and torture.
Lolas’ House is a book of testimony, but it is also a book of witness, of survival, and of the female body. Intensely personal and globally political, it is the legacy of Lolas’ House to the world.
