Introduction: As a “second-generation Chinese American,  born and raised in San Francisco”,  Judy Yung has heard and experienced all the unfairness towards Chinese, especially women in San Francisco in her childhood.  Starting from the difficulties in her mother and grandmother’s immigration, she began to collect stories of Chinese women in the U.S. and eventually completed this book describing Chinese females in San Francisco during the first half of twentieth century.  She used the metaphor of giving up the “crippling custom of footbinding” in the title to indicate the courage and action of Chinese women to change their status and life in San Francisco, and thus changes their stereotype of simply being passive victims.  As Vicki L. Ruiz says, ” It represents a major contribution to research in U.S. women’s history.”  This book is highly valuable both in terms of scholarly history research and literary value.

Introduction: This study recovers the history of immigrants who left scant records of their struggle to survive in a society in which the Chinese were reviled as dangerous,opium-soaked, and unassimilable. It is based on about 3000 contemporary newspaper and magazine articles that reflect the prejudices of the times, a major element shaping the history of the Chinese in New York.
