"Aren't men obliged to propose women?"

"They told me that a girl like me should get married"

"It's been over seven years since my uncle became my guarantor, all I've ever done is work at my uncle's restaurant. Six days a week, everyday repeats itself."

A woman talks about her three lives respectively as a meritorious person, a dedicated wife and a child that always end up in the pagoda due to piled-up misunderstandings a woman suffers from.

A young girl whose boyfriend is a French negotiates for her trip to France with her mother who has the memories of the wars.

A young girl directs fairly a conversation with her boyfriend about their business, opening a Vietnamese restaurant in Victoria, Australia.

In the materials of Line Papin, a second-generation Vietnamese writer in France, Maik Cây and Lê Khải Việt, Vietnamese writers, we experience different stories that all unite questions about the voice of Vietnamese women.

This time, the three materials build a bridge through generations that shows how the women’s voice is taken from monologues to dialogues; and what the underlying structure that motivates changes. Participating at the talk are the three authors and activist in the field, which enables open discussions focusing on the topic.

* These are documents of MY VIETNAM, a project about Vietnamese identities across borders implemented by the Goethe-Institut in collaboration with local partners. The project got financial support from the Delegation of the European Union to Vietnam and other individuals. This event is one of three events being organized from May to July, 2023 to introduce project materials.
