I always assumed that there was no one living today who had their feet bound. What am I talking about? Chinese foot binding, of course. The practice was ended in 1912 so I always assumed that there was no one living today who had their feet bound. Well, yesterday, I stumbled on this article at the Daily Mail of a lady who has bound feet. I think it is interesting…we–well people there at least–can talk to this lady about what it was actually like.
