Literature may allow us to discuss the complexity of Vietnamese femininities, gender patterns, and the many transformations, chosen or not, that surround protagonists submerged in unstable settings. Exploring Vietnamese women characters through literature is never ‘innocent’ and tells us about perceptions, representations, and roles, and opens a window on the writers, the society, and the individuals.

Starting from that simple question, the presentation intends to find a ‘guideline’ in the diversity of literary genres and actions. It also means choosing writers, times, and places and to assume its inevitable subjectivity.’
