Given that women are generally smaller than men and tend to have smaller body parts, we now tend to psychologically associate the small and dainty with the female, and hence, this becomes an attractive trait for women which helps them to attract mates and to reproduce successfully.

Is it true that in ancient China Chinese women had to Squeeze there feet into very small shoes?

Sort of, but not really. Women of noble birth had their feet tightly wrapped from when they were children, leading to their feet becoming small and deformed when they grew up. For a family, having women that couldn't walk was a sign of luxury and wealth as it meant that those women couldn't/didn't have to work. If you were a peasant's daughter that kind of silliness wasn't an option, their feet were left to develop naturally so that they could help in the fields and on the farms.
