Answer 1

The Role of women in the anti-imperial struggle in Vietnam is:-

(i) Women in Vietnam traditionally enjoyed greater equality than in China.

(ii) As the nationalist movement grew, the status of women emerged with a new image of womanhood.

(iii) Writers and political thinkers began idealising women who rebelled against social norms.

(iv) In the 1930's, a famous novel by Nhat Linh caused a scandal because it showed a woman leaving a forced marriage and marrying someone of her choice, who was involved in nationalist politics.

(v) This rebellion marked the arrival of the new women in the Vietnamese society.
