She claims that footbinding should not be viewed merely as a function of men's oppression of women, but rather as a phenomenon of male and female desire deeply rooted in traditional Chinese culture."--BOOK JACKET UR - http://ezproxy.taylors.edu.my/login?url=http://site.ebrary.com/lib/taylorscollege/Doc?id=10159664 ER -
