Published Berkeley:Ten Speed Press, 1997, first printing. 4to. wrappers with French flaps, 10" x 10", 183pp., illustrated with color and b/w reproductions. "How and why did the torturous tradition of footbinding evolve and continue well into the 20th century? Did the men make them do it? Was it an erotic turn-on? Or was it a way to keep women and girls under male control? There are as many fanciful myths, legends, and fairy tales about the origins of footbinding as there are cultural, historical, and sociopolitical explanations for it. Splendid Slippers is an aesthetic, highly personal, and deeply respectful exploration of the facts and the fiction surrounding this fascinating and little-studied erotic custom." Near fine. . 1st. Soft Cover. Near Fine/No Jacket, As Issued. 4to.
