Women from Hanoi and the countryside fought alongside men in both the Viet Cong and North Vietnamese military in their wars against the South Vietnamese government and its French and American allies from 1945 to 1975. Interviews with many of these women, and material from newly opened archives, illuminate the women's motivations, experiences, and contributions. Includes b&w photos.
