This paper adopts a new historiography of taking women's voices seriously in describing what has been either deleted from history books or tainted by historical revisionism. We intend to show that historical silence by the so-called Japanese military sex slaves (ianfu) does not mean that historical atrocities did not happen. Utilizing the words of the former sex slaves to understand their experiences would reveal why revisionists tried to cover up history by introducing textbook revisions & constitutional reforms. These revisionist policies of the Japanese government are not an effort to strengthen the weak Japanese state in the international community, both economically & militarily, but to permanently wipe out the memories of those who perished from history in silence. 1 Table, 27 References.
