Informations supplémentaires

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: Foot binding was a custom practiced on young girls or females for approximately one thousand years in China, beginning in the 10th century and ending in the early 20th century. As the practice waned, some girls' feet were released after initial binding, leaving less severe deformities. Some effects of foot binding are permanent. In the 1990s and early 2000s, some elderly Chinese women still suffered from disabilities related to bound feet. The custom is commonly cited by sociologists and anthropologists as examples of how an extreme deformity by today's standards can be viewed as a source of beauty, and how immense human suffering can be inflicted in the pursuit of beauty
