Helpful Score: 3
I didn't really know what to expect when I picked this book up...I have to say, now that I have finished it, that it is probably one of the best books that I have ever had the pleasure of reading...The depiction of a woman's life in 19th century China makes me appreciate being a woman all the more...Women were considered expendable and without worth...But they actually held their families together and showed strength beyond anything I could ever comprehend...The stories about footbinding showed just how strong these women were...To endure the pain associated with such a barbaric practice and to come out stronger and more wise than any man...This is a great work of literature and I am thankful that I read it...Makes everyday tasks seem so menial...I look at my ever growing pile of laundry and think how lucky I am that I am who I am...
