Southern Women's Museum

This guide to the Southern Women's Museum in Ho Chi Minh City is anchored in Nguyễn Ngọc Loan, the police chief photographed shooting a bound prisoner in an image that became infamous worldwide. You'll hear how his residence was later handed to thirteen former resistance fighters, who opened it as a museum in 1985. Listen for the ao dai gowns tracing two centuries of change, and the diaries of mothers who lost far more to the war than most families ever will.
