It was about as close to equality as you can get without quotas. 40% of doctors in chemistry were women. In 1980 almost exactly 50% of university students were women. In the two decades after the war women actually outnumbered men in technical fields for reasons that should be obvious, but later on the sexual disparity normalised. Women were a lot less prominent in maths and physics than other subjects though. Also, the number of women in leadership positions was lower, but still vastly ahead of the west - around 25% of senior leadership positions in the sciences were occupied by women.
