TITLE: Women’s Organization of the Young Czech Party to the Presidency of the 1913 Congress of the IWSA, Prague, 10 June 1913. DESCRIPTION: Letter by the Women’s Organization of the Young Czech Party, officially National Liberal Party (Národní strana svobodomyslná) in Prague, addressing “the Presidency” of the seventh congress of the International Woman Suffrage Alliance IWSA a few days before the opening of the congress held in Budapest from 15 to 21 June 1913. The Party refuses to participate in the congress for the same reason as Božena Viková-Kunětická. The party, however, has strong sympathies for the congress and “for your grand idea of the equality of all women, in the name of justice” and “equality between men and women which is the goal of true socialism.” See also, “B.

In order to obtain men’s favor, they adopt such practices harmful to their bodies as foot-binding, breast-binding, application of cosmetics, and use of costume jewelry. Foot-binding sacrifices women’s both physical and spiritual independence, while breast-binding undermines their health by damaging the lungs and causing breathing difficulties. In addition to creating economic waste, both cosmetics and jewelry injure the skin, which eventually leads to the poor health. To build a strong body, maintain a good health, and achieve self-independence, women must to give up these baneful practices. Otherwise, they will continue their lives in the darkness and remain enslaved. Show more Show less

Although there are numerous loud warnings on the harms of such practices as breast-binding and foot-binding, women still stick to their old routine. To deal with this situation, two measures have to be taken. First of all, schools should pay attention to the education on hygiene so that female students can realize the importance of being hygienic and abandon their harmful and unsanitary habits. Using the knowledge they have learned at school, they can persuade other women to follow suit. Secondly, newspapers and magazines should also take the responsibility for broadcasting the importance of female hygiene. The circulation of the media can raise women’s consciousness to a broader extent and create a favorable environment for public understanding of women’s reforms on their practices. Show more Show less

The harm breast-binding does to body and health is obvious, but women still would not like to give up the practice. The reason lies in the conventional view that dismisses the gender difference in physique and blames women’s natural plump breasts for arousing men’s evil thoughts and behavior. This view is so d...

The harm breast-binding does to body and health is obvious, but women still would not like to give up the practice. The reason lies in the conventional view that dismisses the gender difference in physique and blames women’s natural plump breasts for arousing men’s evil thoughts and behavior. This view is so deep-rooted and widely spread that women have to bind their breasts one generation after another in order to avoid being humiliated and condemned. Only through inculcating the scientific sexual knowledge in people to replace the old incorrect thinking can the harmful practice of breast-binding be eradicated. Show more Show less
