A Chinese woman whose feet were bound in special shoes since childhood. The late 1800s.
Foot binding was a custom practiced in China from the early 10th to the early 20th century.
Girls' foot bones were broken, and then all the toes except the big one were tied together with a strip of cloth, forcing them to walk in small-sized shoes.
The size of the feet determined the prestige of the bride. Healthy and undeformed feet were associated with peasant labor and "lowly origin."
