ExclusiveDoan Thi Diem: The Woman Who Gave Wives a Voice | Vietnam Within Us

Doan Thi Diem married in her late thirties, and her husband soon left on a diplomatic mission to China. It lasted three years, and she waited at home, carrying every task alone.

Born in 1705 beside the Red River, she had turned down a place at the Trinh lords' court at sixteen, then opened a school and learned medicine to keep her family fed. She is credited with the Vietnamese verse version of Chinh Phu Ngam, a wife's long wait, and a book of tales about clever women.

May this story send you back to the women around you, with a little more attention than before.
