Chinese Cinderella is an Autobiography of Adeline Yen Mah's life. Set in 1941, during WWII, Adeline describes how horrible chinese traditions and her family were to her. Feet biding was a tradition passede down for thousands of years.
There are three books in the series (order not as above). Chinese Cinderella: the secret story of an unwanted daughter, Chinese Cinderella: the secret dragon society and Chinese Cinderella: the Mystery of Song Dynasty Painting. These three books are the best and anyone who wants to read a good book and learn about their culture, this is for you!
Reading this book has definately changed my view about the Chinese. I would recommend this book to anybody who would like to learn about a different culture. It deffinately showed me why they cannot get different things done when they want to.

I will add another post after this when I get home so that you can read my arguments for "cultures speak to one another by their stories and texts."
