The binding of Chinese women's feet was was ended just under 60 year ago! This book details the indoctrination of a culture to believe that women are worthless except to please men. To this day, female infants are aborted, murdered or abandoned in China because of the residual of this belief system. This is a sweet, tragic story of the suffering of both women and men in an oppressive culture. Wonderful, heartbreaking, but redemptive story of the deep love between women. I couldn't put it down. My husband read it and was blown away! A good read for every adult women and man in our free culture.
