While V74 (woman currently working) is in nearly all surveys, there's a lot of variation in the availability of other variables related to women's work. Here's the variable availability display for variables related to women's work for the 28 countries currently included in IPUMS-DHS; an X means the variable is available for the sample listed above it:

The other variable you asked about, V731 (woman working now or worked in past year), is available for Bangladesh DHS surveys for 2007, 2011, and 2014, but not for earlier Bangladesh surveys. Along with the search strategy suggested by Dr. Pullum, check the IPUMS-DHS website to see which variables are available by sample for your countries of interest. You can also use the Search function to get the availability information for a specific variable.
