My Mother (1911-1977), sitting in the middle, was a 16 years old maid in this picture (1927) - she was married 2 years later at her age of 18. She sat in the middle with her cousins (they wore in fashion style of clothes in 1920's in Formosa/Taiwan then). She passed away 30 years ago when I was 42 years old - I was the youngest of her three childen. BTW the five maiden in the picture were all in heaven now. P.S. My mother defied Foot-Binding. That's why she got very big feet :) Most young girls' feet of her age were wrapped in tight bandages so they couldn't grow normally, would break and become deformed as they reached adulthood.
