- Abstract / Summary
- Women are not only treated lightly by men but also by themselves. 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.
