The last bound-feet women of China - in photographs

Hong Kong photographer Jo Farrell has tracked down some of China's last surviving women with bound feet for a book that will be launched next week in Hong Kong.
First published in 1903, South China Morning Post is Hong Kong’s premier English language newspaper and has the city’s most affluent and influential readership. With a reputation for authoritative, influential and independent reporting on Hong Kong and China. The newspaper is supported with its online publication and its Sunday edition, Sunday Morning Post.
The ancient tradition of foot binding now sounds like a barbaric practice. It involved breaking the bones of  young girls’ feet and wrapping them tightly to inhibit growth - and all so they could fit into shoes 10cm long. But it’s important to remember that many of these women did so willingly, as they wanted to appear attractive and to find a husband.
