Abstract

This project debates the participation of Vietnamese and North American women in the Vietnam War (1954-1975), regarding the various forms of activism, mobilization and combat that they carried out. As hypothesis, I sustain that the women's participation in the war has made to emerge interfaces among the production of gender, the war and the ideas, surrounding a multiplicity of narratives, experiences and stories that points the heterogenous dimension of the wars, of nations and, therefore the regime of ideas following it.
