At the second half of the twentieth century, the Communist Revolution destroyed the traditional familial bonds to elevate the women to an equal position as soldiers. In 1950, The Marriage Law outlawed harsh practices for women, such as arranged marriages, concubinage, dowries, and child brides. Women also had the right to file a divorce.

The Communist Party wanted to establish a new social system for the families. They wanted others to see new in the "new" China. The main goal the Communists wanted to achieve was to develop an advanced, industrial economy. Mao strongly believed in the potential for human beings, and that they could transform both themselves and the world.

During the imperial period, women were expected to value their roles as wives and mothers. Women were the people who raises the family and maintains the household. Sons were known as "cherished additions", while daughters were "small happiness",since they would soon marry into another family. To make a daughter seem more appealing, the family would bind her feet to make them smaller.
