From the primitive era to the present day, generations of women from generation to generation have lived on the land of Vietnam. Is there any connection between those women? How attached to the generations of women that modern women have lived before them? And what is the meaning of that attachment?
The initial understanding of the role and spiritual qualities of women in Vietnam through the ages shows that there has been a common tradition throughout thousands of years of life and evolution of women on the land. this. Modern Vietnamese women are the heirs and are promoting that tradition. The things they are proud of are also the things the world is interested in, the things that stick to the tradition that they have been forged and are now being passed down.
Women with small stature, usually thin, simple appearance, seem to remind foreigners to think of reeds - common plants are abundant in this tropical country from Long time ago: "You are like a soft reed ..." - that was the comment of the General Secretary of the International Democratic Women Federation during his research trip to the Vietnamese women's movement in 1968. But continued Secondly, the person in charge of the world women's democracy movement has added that perspective and fully appreciated the modern Vietnamese woman: "But that reed is steel!".
"Steel reed" - images of these soft and tough people, can also be seen as a way of reflecting the common character of Vietnamese women, a diverse and rich yet Stable word in the history of thousands of years.
Understanding and envisioning the common and basic features of such a personality is an important issue. This is because it allows for an appreciation and awareness of the nature, of the key issues of Vietnamese women, to find out the general characteristics of the Vietnamese woman's character.
At the disintegration of primitive society, to the era of class society, an era full of volatility, and thus, widespread differences and unequal development between human communities and communities exist. area. In ancient Vietnam, a unique phenomenon of women has emerged, as seen, of the transition from matriarchal to patriarchalism characterized by complexity and time. elongation. Therefore, if in many places, the progress of society from the primitive age to the social age is accomplished by the sacrifice of woman (woman is disqualified from her role and power. society, becoming a "family slave" - ​​as Lenin puts it), in our Vietnam, that situation didn't quite happen like that. While keeping history moving into a new age, the women in Vietnam have maintained at a very remarkable level, their important role in many ways. An examination of the situation in the centuries before and after AD in Vietnam has revealed that. This unique phenomenon is the premise that, in the face of the needs and conditions of the new era, for thousands of years, women in ancient Vietnam still make great contributions to the national history.
That is why, if the biggest problem of the era of ancient caste societies in Vietnam was the building of the country and defending the country, then it is the Vietnamese woman, by being productive labor, bythe control of housework, by social activities - mainly participation in the fight against the enemy and social struggle - has contributed greatly throughout the nation's four thousand years history.
