for my extended essay i need help reword a question. right now it sounds like a "book report" type question and i need it to a question where i can prove it. Here it the question:

Has foot binding effected the culture of Chinese women throughout the ages?

Try this, or some variation of it:

From the tenth to the twentieth centuries, foot binding affected the Chinese culture -- for women in particular, including those who endured this practice and those who did not.

It would be better to find a better word than "affected" -- something less bland.

To reword your question in a way that allows you to prove it, you can consider the following:

To what extent has foot binding impacted the cultural practices and societal roles of Chinese women across different historical periods?

This revised question enables you to explore and analyze the specific influence of foot binding on various aspects of Chinese women's culture throughout different time periods. To prove your thesis, you can conduct research, gather evidence, analyze historical documents, and study the perspectives of scholars and experts.
