China - a new world for women
Imagine what it must have been like for the women of China. Crippled, oppressed, unable to leave the house.
A mere 200 years ago women in China spent most of their lives confined to their homes - the result of the thousand-year custom of foot binding. It crippled millions of women, making walking painful, if not impossible.
The first female missionaries to China soon realised that unless they could visit the women in their homes, they would never hear of God's love.
