The memorial site of Female General Nguyen Thi Dinh is located in Luong Hoa commune, Giong Trom district, Ben Tre province, built on a total area of ​​15,000 m2.
Nguyen Thi Dinh Memorial Site is one of the most meaningful tourist destinations in Ben Tre, where the “Land of Steel and Copper” was born and is associated with the name of the first female general of the Vietnam People’s Army. Ben Tre people always respect and affectionately call General Nguyen Thi Dinh by the familiar name “Miss Ba”.

She was born on February 13, 1920, the youngest of 10 children in Luong Hoa commune, Giong Trom district, Ben Tre province. When she turned 16, she began participating in the revolution, taking on the task of liaison, distributing leaflets and mobilizing the masses to fight. In 1938, she was admitted to the Indochinese Communist Party. In 1946, she was a member of the delegation of Zone 8 cadres who crossed the sea to meet Uncle Ho to report on the revolutionary situation in the South and ask for weapons support, thereby opening the legendary Ho Chi Minh trail at sea, the predecessor of the later unnumbered trains.

Upon returning to her hometown, Co Ba and the Ben Tre Provincial Party Committee led the people to rise up and break the enemy's grip in the three communes of Dinh Thuy, Binh Khanh and Phuoc Hiep (Mo Cay district, now Mo Cay Nam district) to create the Dong Khoi movement on January 17, 1960, opening the climax of simultaneous uprisings in the entire province and the South at that time. Her name is associated with the Dong Khoi Ben Tre movement, with the "Long-haired Army" that terrified the enemy.

The image of Miss Ba Dinh with her traditional Vietnamese dress, checkered scarf, conical hat, and small shoulder bag has become the belief of the army, people in the South, and female revolutionaries across the country.

During her activities, Ms. Ba Dinh was captured and brutally tortured by the enemy many times. However, the fighting spirit of the Ben Tre girl remained steadfast, loyal to the revolution and the nation. By 1974, Ms. Ba Dinh had been promoted to the rank of Major General of the Vietnam People's Army, a dignified and kind female general, majestic and gentle and sincere.
The female general was once praised by Uncle Ho: “The Deputy Commander-in-Chief of the Southern Liberation Army is Ms. Nguyen Thi Dinh. In the whole world, only our country has such a female general. It is truly glorious for the whole South, for our whole nation.”

At 22:50 on August 26, 1992, female general Nguyen Thi Dinh passed away. She lived a full life with the country, made many great contributions to the Fatherland and the people. She was awarded two Ho Chi Minh Medals, the First Class Military Exploit Medal and many other noble medals by the State. In 1968, she received the Lenin International Peace Prize. On August 30, 1995, she was posthumously awarded the title Hero of the People's Armed Forces. A lifetime of fighting and sacrificing, female general Nguyen Thi Dinh has become a legend, not only representing the heroic - indomitable - loyal - capable women of the South, but also a model for Vietnamese women and progressive women around the world.

After her death, the people of Hat Mon commune (Phuc Tho, Hanoi) set up an altar for her in the Hai Ba Trung temple. Her name was given to many streets and schools in Vietnam.
