Women of Japan Relive the Bomb
By
Lequita Vance-Watkins and Aratani Mariko
In this anthology, women survivors of the atomic bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki write of the attack’s cause, effects, and aftermath. In potent prose and poetry, these women bear witness to the shared responsibility for bringing about war, any war, their voices refuting the idea that the devastation unleashed ended when the war did.
