How did the Chinese and Russian revolutions affect women differently?
I know how they're similar, but I really can't find any good differences? Thanks so much guys! :)

i havent studied womens rights in russia after their revolution, but i have studied womens rights in China after their revolution.
Mao had great respect for women, which originated from a story he read in the newspaper when he was a teenager about a women committing suicide. he was really affected by it and in his memoirs and biographies, constantly refers back to this.
After the revolution, one of the first laws was the Marriage Law, which gave women the right to divorce and remarry. then the land reform law, which allowed land to be bought in a womens name (i forget the order, but these two were definately Mao's first laws)
hopefully this helps, its been a year or so since i studied it in school. hopefully this gives you somewhere to start.
