Worksheet on the Hiroshima Maidens
Dublin Core
Description
This is an in-class assignment about the "Hiroshima Maidens," Japanese women whose faces had been severely scarred by the atomic bombing of Hiroshima in 1945, who came to the United States in the mid-1950 to receive "corrective" surgeries. The assignment is based on a chapter about the women from Caroline C. Simpson's book Absent Presence, which is one of the best sources available in English about this highly contested Cold War project.
