What did chairman Mao do for women?

Answer 1

Mao Zedong was a very considerate man

He established the people's repubic of china in 1949 which helped the women in several ways

1) One of the more positive effects of Mao Zedong on the people of China was Mao's viewpoint of woman. He claimed that women held up half of the heavens and abolished foot binding; a practice that hobbled women and kept them tied to their house While he did not support Birth Control, he did encourage women to be the equal of men saying that "Protect the interests of the youth, women and children - provide assistance to young students who cannot afford to continue their studies, help the youth and women to organize in order to participate on an equal footing in all work useful to the war effort and to social progress, ensure freedom of marriage and equality as between men and women, and give young people and children a useful education...." (Zedong 1945)Since 1949, the role of women in the Chinese society has been totally changed. There are now women in all trades and professions. Women work side by side with men on a seemingly equal footing. The woman's movement had been greatly promoted by the enforcement of the Marriage Law of 1950,
