Answering the call of President Ho Chi Minh, in the resistance war against the French colonialists and the war against the US to save the country, millions of Vietnamese women have enthusiastically participated in fighting on all fronts.

From pupils, students, many young girls "Country girl went to save the country, blue hair in full moon age..." to mothers and sisters who spent the most beautiful and happiest years of their life. fighting for the independence and freedom of the Fatherland. It is also from the wars that the image of a courageous, indomitable, brave and resilient woman has been depicted such as: Nguyen Thi Dinh, Nguyen Thi Binh, Vo Thi Bach Tuyet, Nguyen Thi Kim Lai... with sentences. Stories are passed on to the next generation.

A number of documents, images and stories of Vietnamese women during the war have been collected by the War Remnants Museum, and the mobile thematic exhibition "Vietnamese women go through the smoke and fire of war" has been carried out by the War Remnants Museum. This topic introduces the public, especially young people, to the role of women in the war and is also a valuable lesson for the younger generation to learn and follow.

Continuing that tradition, when the country is at peace and in the integration trend, Vietnamese women continue to actively contribute to social activities such as: participating in state management, participating in poverty reduction, hunger eradication, poverty reduction, building a happy and prosperous family, participating in the prevention of social evils, participating in foreign activities, doing scientific research, etc., contributing to the building of a richer and more beautiful country.

Especially, in the current period when Vietnam has to cope with the Covid epidemic in general and Ho Chi Minh City in particular, once again the value of Vietnamese women is spread more deeply. In the face of very complicated developments of the Covid - 19 epidemic, Ho Chi Minh City has tightened social distancing  under Directive 16 of the Prime Minister with the spirit of "whoever is, stay there" and each ward and commune is a "fortress" against the epidemic. Many women have registered to volunteer to contribute part of their efforts to support epidemic prevention and control activities such as cooking rice to bring to the isolation area, giving free meals to the homeless, market 0 community, going to the market, supporting the delivery of quick welfare packages to the people... to participating in rapid sampling in the residential community, participating in mobile medical groups to take care of F0 at home, take care of patients Covid patients in field hospitals… It can be seen that, despite the high risk of the disease spreading, the women still actively participate in many activities from the rear to the front lines to fight the epidemic, helping Ho Chi Minh City quickly recover from the disease.

Thus, whether in the past, present or future, women always play an important role, not only being the housewives of the family but also participating in many economic, cultural and social activities that promote social and economic development. developed society. And the praise of the image of women has gone into poetry a lot like the poem "Vietnamese woman" by Phan Hoang:

Vietnamese Women

This is a Vietnamese woman

Smooth, gentle and beautiful cloud hair

Shining bright eyes

Tilt the brim of the hat, the smile blooms

In the past, domestic chores

The two shoulders are really brave

Uncle Ho gave "eight golden letters"

Praise the Heroic Vietnamese Women!

Once upon a time, Ba Trieu, Ba Trung

Defeat the Northern army with its famous martial arts

Destroy the enemy and liberate the river

Sister Khai, Sister Sau… today's heroes

Donate your mind and hand

Business, production, farming increased. . .

How many talented women

Contributing to building a prosperous country

Loyalty, love and affection

How beautiful are the women of our country then and now!
