Through our YouTube channel, AAWW TV, you can relive the magic of live events at our space in Chelsea, check out in-depth interviews with writers, and more. Every Thursday we’ll be sharing a new segment from AAWW TV on The Margins.

M. Evelina Galang tells the story of sixteen surviving Filipino comfort women who survived violence inflicted by the Japanese army in World War II in her new book Lola’s House: Filipino Women Living with War (Curbstone, 2017). Starting in the late nineties, Galang built relationships with women at Lolas’ House, a community center for women’s organizing in Manila, and records their testimony—at once intensely personal and globally political—in this searing book. Don’t miss this rare appearance by Florida-based author Galang, one of the heads of VONA. Galang was joined in conversation by Sophia Hussain, AAWW’s Programs Coordinator.
