This text brings Chinese women to the centre of the Chinese
cultural stage by examining the role which exercise and,
subsequently, sport played in their liberation. Physical
emancipation, particularly in the custom of footbinding, which
continued to be practised to some extent in China until 1949, was
the prerequisite for wider emancipation. Through the medium of
women's bodies, Fan Hong explores the significance of religious
beliefs, cultural codes and political dogmas for gender relations,
gender concepts and the human body in an Asian setting. Inquiry
into the evolving relationship between women's emancipation and
exercise over this period is necessary if there is to be a full
understanding of China in an era of gender role reconstruction.
