Abstract

This study offers insights into the popular nôm poetry written by Hô Xuân Hu'o'ng, who brought to life the battles of the sexes, the power of the female body versus male authority, human weakness and desire and a range of issues and experiences potentially detrimental to women's status and aspirations. This study also examines the treatment of Hô Xuân Hu'o'ng's poetry by present-day Vietnamese.
