The True Purpose of Foot Binding

Was the purpose of foot binding to make females appear more educated?

a) true
b) false

Answer:

Foot binding's purpose was not to make females appear more educated but rather to signify wealth and beauty.

Foot binding was a practice predominantly carried out in China for over a thousand years primarily to signify wealth and beauty. It involved tightly wrapping the feet of young girls to prevent further growth, resulting in deformed feet. The belief that smaller feet were more aesthetically pleasing was common during that time, but it was not related to education.
