Bound Feet --- Women through the Ages

1999
Our project examines the status of women in China today, particularly in the Birthplace, at Home, in the Workplace, In the Media and in the Marketplace. We hope to compare this to the status of Chinese women in the past, taking into consideration the feudal family system and traditional Asian values and how far the "feminist" movement in China has progressed since the founding of new China in 1949. The write-up on Bound Feet serves as a starting point, a symbol for the subjugation of women in China and we hope to branch out as far as possible from there.
