Feminism in Vietnamese Folk Beliefs

English review | Dr. Nguyen Trong Long - Assoc. Prof. Dr. Vu Hong Van - 21:25, 14/04/2026
(DTTG) - Abstract: Under Vietnam’s independent feudal dynasties, there existed a political system and moral standards that granted many “preferential” rights to men, forming a typical patriarchal regime that influenced all aspects of social life. In secular life, that patriarchal system lasted so long that women accepted being inferior and submissive to men. The patriarchal lifestyle of “preferring sons over daughters” has been followed for a long time, becoming the norm, family tradition, village custom and national law. In spiritual life, femininity is often prominent and powerful, forming a system of belief systems that worship goddesses, with the Mother Goddess worship being a prime example. This research focuses on clarifying the fundamental content and reasons why femininity is so prominent and authoritative in Vietnamese folk religious practices; from there, assessing and identify the values ​​of gender equality in the diverse spiritual life of Vietnamese people.
