Book Description | The lives and identities of two women - during World War II and the Korean War - intertwine to reveal the harsh realities of class division in the first part of the twentieth century. “Can't I leave?” It follows the lives of a Korean nobleman's daughter and her maid in the early 1900s. When the daughter's suitor is arrested as a Korean independence activist, and she is implicated during the investigation, she is soon forced to marry one of her father's Japanese employees and travel to the United States. At the same time, her maid is sent to serve as a comfort woman for the Imperial Japanese Army. Korean comfort women were exploited by the Japanese Imperial Army in the most horrific ways. |
