Feet
In China, beginning in the eleventh century, the practice of foot-binding
was used on female infants in wealthy families. The feet were tightly bound to
prevent growth. The toes sometimes dropped off and a deep cleft formed between
the heel and the front of the foot. These unnaturally small feet were considered
a sign of beauty. Foot-binding was done to distinguish natural-footed working
women from wealthy women of leisure, whose bound feet confined them to the house
because walking was so painful. This practice was outlawed in the 20th century.
