Living History: Bound Feet Women of China is a project by Jo Farrell that documents and celebrates the lives of the last remaining women in China with bound feet.
''In the past year alone, three of the women I have been documenting have died and I feel it is now imperative to focus on recording their lives before it is too late. I have been working on this personal project for a few years, financing the project myself and through the sale of my photographs. Now is the time to reach out to get funding to complete this project. ''
