Pretty gross. Mao caused millions of deaths due to famines caused by his Great Leap Forward (and refused to stop, and locked up Peng Dehuai when he warned Mao about the issues). While Mao did initially push women's rights further, the women's liberation movement was slowed as he scared them into submission with the anti-rightest campaign, and shut down completely when he halted the All-China's Women Federation during the Cultural Revolution. Maoism is inherently authoritarian, with the Mass-Line primarily being justification for propaganda and party purges.
If you want to read about the women's liberation in communist china, I recommend reading this, as it is really insightful about what happened, and useful when tankies try to talk about how awesome and progressive China was.
