#FootBindingRetold "For generations, foot-binding was inflicted upon millions of Chinese women and girls in an effort to ensure their marriageability — a wife with bound feet was seen as a status symbol in Chinese society. Although the practice of foot-binding has been banned in China since the mid-twentieth century, there are still women today who remain living testaments to this cruel custom. Photographer Jo Farrell is on a quest to capture the everyday lives of these women, who are in their 80s and 90s. Contrary to the stereotypical image of foot-bound women as wealthy urbanites, the women Farrell photographs “are peasant farmers working off the land,” who have survived the turbulent social and political landscape of twentieth century China."

An all male society at school and in businesses will not make our world better...remember all the wars in the past. True I have not calculated correlation nor do I know if there is some causality, but these policies are antiquated and not progressive. Back to the middle ages, sad.
