Lisa See's "Snow Flower And The Secret Fan" - Foot Binding And Tradition
Number of pages:
5
ABSTRACT:
5 pages in length. Patriarchy has long held Chinese women hostage where their social, political and cultural facets are concerned, with centuries' worth of oppression and torture as examples of just how overpowering such influence has been in defining the overall image of women in Chinese society. Foot binding, which reflects one of the most cruel and sadistic practices by civilized standards, is one tradition by which image has taken form and refuses to let go of its defining factor. Bibliography lists 3 sources.
