Chinese Footbinding: The History of a Curious Erotic Custom

Chinese Footbinding: The History of a Curious Erotic Custom

This is the first complete history in a Western language of a custom which seems utterly barbarous to the West, but which persisted for a thousand years in China. The author examines footbinding's origins in history, the background of Chinese life which kept it flourishing, and the varied efforts by liberal reformers and missionaries to abolish it.
