Pernilla Rasmussen writes a blog post in The Alumni Network Blog about the history of the high heeled shoe. "High heel shoes are a fashion phenomenon that inspire wonder. Why is it that these shoes, in particular, have come to be synonymous with femininity and seduction? A look back in history reveals that they have not always been gender-coded in this way. High heels were once associated with masculinity and power at the highest level."
