Women
played and equally important role as the men in the anti-imperial struggle in
Vietnam.
Women who rebelled against social conventions were idolised and rebel

Trieu Au, who lived in the 3rd century CE, was a popular
figure in nationalist tales. In the 1960s, women were represented as brave
soldiers and workers.
They assisted in nursing wounded soldiers, constructing
roads and underground tunnels as well as fighting the enemy.
Between 1965 to 1975, 70 to 80% of the youth working on
the Ho Chi Minh trail were women.
Compared to this direct and active participation of Vietnamese
women in the anti-imperial struggle, Indian women played a comparatively small
role in the nationalist struggle of India against Great Britain.

Kasturba Gandhi, Pritilata Waddedar and Bina Das were keenly involved in the
Nationalist Movement.
