Vietnamese Women as warriors and as workers:

Women joined the army and fought bravely against the American troops. They succeeded in shooting down war planes.

They were dedicated workers. They carried rifle on their back and worked in the field.

Whether young or old, women began to be depicted as selflessly working and fighting to save the country.

As casualties in the war increased in the 1960s, women were urged to join the struggle in larger numbers.

They were portrayed as young, brave and dedicated.

Stories were written to show how happy they felt when they joined the army and could carry a rifle.
