Today, more and more women are actively participating in social activities both in urban and rural
areas. Specifically, they have shined brightly in even many fields commonly regarded as the man's areas such as
business, scientific research and social management. In some areas, women even show more overwhelming power than
men. The image of contemporary Vietnamese women with creativeness, dynamism, success has become popular in
Vietnam's society. The fact reveals that the gender gap has been remarkably narrowed and women enjoy many more
opportunities to pursue their social careers and obtain success, contributing to national socio-economic development.
According to Ms, Le Thi Quy, Director of the Gender/and Development Research Centre under the University of Social
Sciences and Humanities, Hanoi National University, gender equity in Vietnam has reached a high level over the past
decade. The rate of Vietnamese women becoming National Assembly members from the 9 th term to the 11th term
increased 8.7%, bringing the proportion of Vietnamese women in authority to 27.3%, the highest rate in Southeast Asia.
There is no big gap in the level of literacy and schooling between men and women. Women account for about 37% of
university and college graduates, 19.9% of doctoral degree holders and 6.7% of professors and associate professors.
The legitimate rights of women and children are ensured more than ever before with more complete legal
documents including laws, conventions and national action plans, among which the laws on "gender equity" mark a
turning-point in the empowerment of women.
Mass media also highlights the continued success of women in every field and honors their great importance in
modern society, helping to do away with outdated perceptions about traditional women's duties. Many projects on
reproductive health care, children protection, and family income improvement jointly conducted by various mass
organizations, state agencies and non-governmental organizations have created favorable conditions for women to
become involved.

Valentina Tereshkova was born in 1937 in Russia. She started working when she was 16. She also joined a local flying
club and soon became a talented parachutist. Her talent for skydiving led her to the Soviet space program. In 1962,
while still a factory worker, she was accepted along with three other woman parachutists and a female pilot into the
program. Together, they began intensive training to become cosmonauts. Tereshkova joined the Soviet Air Force. She
became an Air Force officer after completing her training and passing an examination. In 1963, at the age of 26,
Tereshkova became the first woman to travel in space. Her spacecraft Vostok 6 was guided by an automatic control
system. She travelled into space in Vostok 6 on June 16, 1963 and successfully returned to Earth three days later. After
