About the book
Translated from the spanish edition of Seix Barral Editorial: > Bound feet & Western dress narrates the story of an exceptional woman born in 1900 and deceased in 1988, who not only overcame difficult situations in the strict environment of traditional China, but also managed to develop her education and obtain relevant position in the banking and commerce fields. > This life symbolizes the transition between old China, represented as the bound feet, and the western culture, accepted partially by the protagonist without denying her love for her homeland and traditions.
