Summary[edit]

Description
English: John Thomson: MY fair readers will gather from what has gone before that women's life in China is by no means an enviable lot.

It has been suggested that the custom of pinching their feet, now regarded as an essential element of female beauty in China, originated in the selfish jealousy of man.
