Mao's Women




Mao was responsible for the deaths of more people than anyone else in recorded history. Millions died in famines his policies caused or else were tortured to death or sacrificed in war to satisfy his own vanity. His lack of compassion for women or genuine interest in them as human beings helps to demonstrate the indifference with which he treated human life.
