Abstract

Ho Xuan Huong is considered a poet of women. She expressed her feminist aspirations, demanding equality for women in many of her Nom poems. One of the weapons of struggle for feminism in Ho Xuan Huong’s Nom poetry is satirical laughter, through which she condemns the feudal regime that deprives women of their freedom to live and love. This article explores the relationship between satirical laughter and feminist aspirations in Ho Xuan Huong’s Nom poetry, thereby affirming that Ho Xuan Huong’s poetry is not only a great step forward for medieval satirical poetry but also a strong voice of feminist literature of the time.
