Today, more and more women are actively participating in social activities both in
urban and rural areas. Specially, 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 9th 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
horrors their great importance in modern society, helping to do away with out-dated
perceptions about traditional women’s duties. Many projects on reproductive health care,
children protection, and family income improvement jointly conducted by various mass
organizations, sate agencies and non-governmental organizations have created favorable
conditions for women to become involved.

Mickey Mantle was one of the greatest baseball players of all time. He played for
the New York Yankees in their years of glory. From the time Mantle began to play
professionally in 1951 to his last year in 1968, baseball was the most popular game in
the United States. For many people, Mantle symbolized the hope, prosperity, and
confidence of America at that time.
Mantle was a fast and powerful player, a “switch-hitter” who could bat both right-
handed and left-handed. He won game after game, one World Series championship after
another, for his team. He was a wonderful athlete, but this
alone cannot explain
Americas fascination with him. Perhaps it was because he was a handsome, red-haired
country boy, the son of a poor miner from Oklahoma. His career, from the lead mines
of the West to the heights of success and fame, was a fairy-tale version of the American
dream. Or perhaps it was because America always loves a “natural”: a person who wins
without seeming to try, whose talent appears to come from an inner grace. That was
Mickey Mantle.
But like many celebrities, Mickey Mantle had a private life that was full of
problems. He played without complaint despite constant pain from injuries. He lived to
fulfill
his father’s dreams and drank to forget his father’s early death.
It was a terrible addiction that finally destroyed his body. It gave him cirrhosis
of the
liver and accelerated the advance of liver cancer. Even when Mickey Mantle had turned
away from his old life and warned young people not to follow his example, the
destructive process could not be stopped. Despite a liver transplant operation that had
all those who loved and admired him hoping for a recovery, Mickey Mantle died of
cancer at the age of 63.
