A detailed, model-independent study of CP violation at present and future electron-positron colliders is reported. Firstly, we investigate CP violation effects in $W$ boson and $t$ quark pair production in $e^+e^-$ annihilation and in two-photon fusion at a next $e^+e^-$ linear collider, where Compton-backscattered laser light off the electrons or positrons are employed as a powerful polarized photon source. Secondly, noting that there do not exist any direct measurements for the tau-lepton electric dipole moment (EDM), we address the importance of performing its direct measurements at $e^+e^-$ collisions off the Z-boson pole at TRISTAN, LEPII and CLEOII. We present a rough comparison of the potential of these experiments in the $\tau$ EDM measurements. Finally, we report on our recent works for probing CP violation in the semileptonic decays of the tau lepton, which involve two different intermediate resonances with large ratios of widths to masses, and which can be most efficiently identified at the planned $B$ and proposed $\tau$-charm factories. All the CP-violation phenomena in the processes under consideration, if discovered, imply new CP-violation mechanisms completely different from the Standard Model CP violation mechanism through the complex phase of the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa matrix.
