From the Paper:

"The land held by the feudal lords and some very rich farmers were confiscated by the government. The rural markets were made more useful as the farmers and artisans began to control the items that they produced and could bring the same into the market for sale. As a result the hunger and malnutrition in China dropped sharply. The feudal lords and their lackeys did not have any role in the agricultural production but used to siphon off the surplus, or even the main productions for the purpose of their rich living styles. They had been the main exploiters of the rural farmers. Apart from this there was a lot of freedom for the women. This had happened due to the fact that the Communists had sent a lot of women to work in the villages to weaken the hold of the rural landlords on the working of the women in the villages. The government also passed a number of laws that gave the women the right town property and the right to divorce their abusive husbands.
