In ancient Chinese custom women with broken, bounded feet were considered to be beautiful. This beauty no doubt came at a price. As early as age seven, young girls had their feet bounded by their mothers, in an attempt to get the toes and heel to meet forming a cleft. Women with flat feet were not seen as beautiful; therefore, a girl with broken feet would fetch a high bride price. In other cultures, beauty is viewed in many ways. The Arawak Indians use to press the foreheads of their babies between boards, as a flat forehead was seen as beautiful.
In today’s society women wear high heel shoes to create a leaner, longer and sexier appearance. This too comes with a price, as wearing heels can damage tendons in the feet and also put a strain on the woman’s womb and lower back. My dear friends I am sure you have your own ideas of beauty…what is your idea of a beautiful woman?
