Her name is Lam Thi Dep (“Dep” means beautiful in Vietnamese). The picture was taken in 1972 at Soc Trang Province by Vietnamese journalist Minh Truong.
*She was 18 at the time, and she’s wielding an M-16, the standard issue American soldier’s rifle. Usually these types of photos were taken for propaganda purposes.
North Vietnamese women were deeply involved at all levels of the military campaign throughout the war, especially at the business end, fighting against the American-led forces in the jungle. North Vietnamese women were enlisted and fought in the combat zone, as well as provided manual labor to keep the Ho Chi Minh trail open. They cooked for the troops . They also worked in the rice fields in North Vietnam and Viet Cong-held farming areas in South Vietnam’s Mekong Delta region to provide food for their families, and the war effort.
Women were enlisted in both the North Vietnamese Army and the Viet Cong guerrilla insurgent force in South Vietnam.
