This lecture by Elizabeth Semmelhack, Director and Senior Curator of the Bata Shoe Museum, traces how the high heel moved from horseback riding in Western Asia to a symbol of masculinity, femininity, eroticism and power. It considers why the shoe's meanings have shifted so sharply and why it still sparks debate.
