Cinderella’s Sisters : A Revisionist History Of Footbinding

Attribution
Dorothy Ko
Publication Details
Book, University of California Press, 2005
Links
Description
Neither condemning nor defending foot-binding, Dorothy Ko debunks many myths and misconceptions about its origins, development, and eventual end, exploring in the process the entanglements of male power and female desires during the practice’s thousand-year history. Throughout her narrative, Ko deftly wields methods of social history, literary criticism, material culture studies, and the history of the body and fashion to illustrate how a practice that began as embodied lyricism–as a way to live as the poets imagined–ended up being an exercise in excess and folly.
