The "Proud Vietnamese Women" collection, created by the Soldiers' Heart Organization and the Forever 20 Club, was donated to the Vietnam Women's Museum for preservation, display, and public dissemination. The images, restored from original black-and-white documents into vibrant color portraits, recreate the resilient and immortal beauty of Vietnamese women – those who lived, fought, and dedicated themselves completely to the Fatherland.

The collection includes more than 20 portraits of female heroes and martyrs "Forever Twenty Years Old," such as: Nguyen Thi Minh Khai (1910-1941), Vo Thi Sau (1933-1952), Mac Thi Buoi (1927-1951), Le Thi Hong Gam (1951-1970), Le Thi Rieng (1925-1968), Hoang Ngan (1921-1949), Dang Thuy Tram (1942-1970), etc.

Along with that are the portraits of the first four leaders of the Vietnam Women's Union: Le Thi Xuyen (1909-1996), Nguyen Thi Thap (1908-1996), Ha Thi Que (1921-2012) and Nguyen Thi Dinh (1920-1992).

The reconstructed works not only focus on physical beauty but also reflect the depth of soul and character of Vietnamese women. Whether in the context of wartime hardship or everyday life, they still exude the beauty of steadfastness, kindness, and compassion.
