(Baonghean.vn) - On the occasion of International Women's Day, March 8th, we are pleased to present to our readers a collection of photographs by various authors depicting women at work. These are authentic, everyday moments that evoke deep emotions, captured by chance by the photographers. A bunch of vegetables, a market day, or a sunny afternoon in the fields... We can all sense the presence of our grandmothers and mothers in these moments.

Every day, she brings a little "product" from her garden—sometimes a papaya, sometimes a bunch of gourds, and sometimes she even brings a pair of pigeons to sell—and sits in a corner of a market in Vinh City to sell them.
