Various Perceptions of Beauty Across Cultures

For my Women's Studies course, my group members and I had to prepare a power point on "Women and Beauty". We decided to focus on the various perceptions of beauty across different cultures of my world. I was blown away by some of the stuff I read and saw from my research. Below is my part of the project. Take a look!

In ancient China, Foot Binding was practiced in which the toes of women were forced back to the soles of their feet until broken, to result in tinier feet?! The Result.....

That might be true, but I am willing to bet that you will have a difficult time bringing out the fun side of the women pictured with their lips poked.
