"Genuine equality between the sexes can only be realized in the process of the socialist transformation of society as a whole"

The quote recommends that true equality between men and women can just be attained through a socialist transformation that fundamentally transforms society as a whole. Mao Tse-Tung thought that socialism would create a system that eliminates the patriarchy and other types of injustice, guaranteeing that ladies are equal to men in all aspects of life. This quote reflects Mao's belief that social and financial changes are required to produce true gender equality.
