1995年9月，美国、日本和冲绳之间的关系发生了变化，因为三名美国军人残忍地轮奸了一名12岁的女学生。冲绳的女权主义者呼吁公众关注这起强奸案，但不久之后，媒体和政治领导人就把焦点转向了对冲绳殖民历史和战后美国占领冲绳的担忧。一场主权危机取代了妇女和一个特定女孩的危机，这场危机逐渐从人们的视野中消失，女权主义活动家的议程也是如此。通过对冲绳有争议的身份政治的考察，作者追溯了冲绳各组成团体的政治轨迹，并询问为什么这一特定的罪行，在1945年以来美国人员对冲绳人犯下的一长串罪行中，在冲绳和日本大陆都引起了如此强烈的共鸣。提交人认为，强奸是因为它具有强大的象征意义：冲绳是牺牲的女学生/女儿。因此，它是过去的象征，以前的叙述冲绳受害者，最显着的姬百合学生在冲绳战役。女权主义者在父权制语言中的合作将冲绳视为日本民族家庭中的女儿，这是有问题的，但作为争取妇女人权的战略是必要的。
In September 1995 relations between the United States, Japan, and Okinawa were transformed when three U.S. servicemen brutally gang-raped a twelve-year-old schoolgirl. Okinawan feminists called public attention to the rape, but it wasn't long before the media and political leaders shifted their focus to concerns about Okinawa's colonial history and its postwar occupation by the United States. A crisis of sovereignty replaced the crisis for women and a particular girl, which gradually faded from view, as did the agenda of feminist activists. Through an examination of Okinawa's contentious identity politics, the author traces the political trajectories of Okinawa's component groups and asks why this particular crime, in a long list of crimes against Okinawans by U.S. personnel since 1945, resonates so strongly both in Okinawa and in mainland Japan. The author argues that the rape has been enlisted for its powerful symbolic capacity: Okinawa as sacrificed schoolgirl/daughter. As such it is emblematic of past, prior narratives of Okinawan victimhood, most notably the Himeyuri students in the Battle of Okinawa. Feminists' cooperation in a patriarchal language that posits Okinawa as daughter within a national Japanese family is problematic but necessary as a strategy in the fight for women's human rights.
