* Small feet were considered a mark of feminine beauty in China, and some status-conscious Chinese bound the feet of their little girls, crippling them so they could barely walk, to show that the father was such a good provider that his women were docile and domestic and did not have to work in the fields. As a little girl in China around 1900, Dolly's feet were bound. The practice was outlawed in 1911.
