This could be the history of foot binding, or just one woman's clear and descriptive college paper on the oppression of women in China. Either way, it is filled with ancient texts, illustrations, and factual information of foot binding. It is not romantic as the current novels portray. Though supposed to be exotic and erotic, I found foot binding as sad and depressing.
