MODERN FEMALE CHARACTERS IN THE SHORT STORIES BY DUONG THUY

Abstract

Since the renovation Vietnamese literature has seen “a dramatic change” in gender of the staff of writers, especially in the field of prose. The country is in the peaceful time, and the sound of guns has gone into the past. So it is appropriate for women to express their life themselves. Naturally, their assertion and expression are their experience and empathy; female writers write a lot about gender based on their perception which is different and more dominant than men’s. According to that tendency, Duong Thuy - the female writer who has been well- known to readers for  ten years, has explored, discovered, and had new expressions in her works, particularly unique short stories about womankind,especially modern women, both on the surface and in depth.
