Tư tưởng tiến bộ của Nhà báo Nguyễn Văn Vĩnh về người phụ nữ qua chuyên mục “Nhời đàn bà”

In the process of modernizing Vietnamese thought in the early twentieth century, the issue of women be came an important subject of the discourse on social reform. Through the “Nhời đàn bà” (On women) column in Dang co Tung bao (The Gazette of Ancient News), Dong Duong tap chi (The Indochina Review), and the French-language newspaper L’Annam Nouveau (New Annam), journalist Nguyen Van Vinh developed a set of progressive views on the status and role of women in traditional Vietnamese society. This article analyzes the core elements of his thought, namely: supporting voluntary marriage and opposing forced marriage and outdated cus toms; emphasizing women's education and the role of mothers as the foundation of civilized families and society; and viewing women as subjects who shape the future rather than merely homemakers. Through a flexible discursive strategy and sharp argumentation, Nguyen Van Vinh contributed to shaping modern awareness of women while affirming the role of the press in promoting social reform and progress.
