Responsibilities

"Responsibility is the price freedom."
-Elbert Hubbard

      Mao gave women their freedom and made them equal to men in society. WIth these rights, however, came responsibilities. Women now had the same responsibilities as men because they had to pay taxes, get jobs to support themselves and their families, and join the national worker's association.
