The article focuses on vital roles of women, as leading members of the Vietnamese Communist Party, in the struggle for independence from France. It also deals with Nguyen Thi Minh Khai’s biography, her participation in patriotic movements between the 1920s and 1 940s, and the end of her life in 1941.
