I do see another possible explanation for this. China was a male dominated society, was it not? So maybe it was that by surrounding himself with female co-workers, Nee felt like there wouldn't be anyone threatening his status as the supreme leader.
In other words, I'm not sure how much we could really read into the fact that Nee had female coworkers and that they were allowed to play a significant role in his ministry. Was Nee really way ahead of his time in promoting gender equality, or was there a different explanation for this?
