Abstract

Most of the stories we know about the Vietnamese goddess Liêu Hanh derive from Doàn thi Diêm's story Vân Cát Thân Nũ Truyên. This article analyses the story, arguing that in fact it is a piece of fiction which reflects the author's views, experiences and aspirations for greater freedom for women.
