Have you ever heard of the practice called 'Foot Binding' in China? The practice basically involved binding young women’s feet to stunt growth and break the 4 small toes and pull underneath the foot. This would make the women basically crippled. In 1911, the Republic of China government banned foot binding, a practice considered barbaric by other societies.
