    In many respects their liberation of women was better than what we have in the US today

    Call me one aspect which is better in the US than was back then for women in the DDR.

      I mean honestly I can't, I was just hedging some. I guess abortion was legalized around the same time in both countries, so that's a push. I don't know what % of senators and reps in the US congress are women today, so I don't know if that's better now that it was in the GDR in the 80s... but I know in the 80s it was much lower in the US than in the GDR.

        GDR actually passed gender quotas for mayoral offices because too many women were winning.
