10. Summary of the thesis results:

At the beginning of the 20th century, alongside numerous political, social, and cultural developments, a Buddhist revival movement emerged in Vietnam's religious life. Initially originating in the South, this movement quickly spread, becoming a vibrant, widespread, and comprehensive movement throughout the country. The Buddhist revival movement became a driving force and leverage for the development of Vietnamese Buddhism. From this movement, Buddhism began to operate in an organized manner, unlike its previous fragmented and loose structure. Buddhist organizations were established throughout the three regions, with publications such as magazines, monthly journals, and newsletters… featuring articles that attracted considerable attention from the Buddhist community as well as public opinion. However, Buddhist journalism during this period has not yet received much attention in research.

Also in the context of the early 20th century, the issue of women gradually emerged in Vietnam, attracting the attention and discussion of the entire society. This article attempts to clarify the issue of women under the impact of the Buddhist revival movement, as expressed in many aspects, especially in the field of Buddhist journalism...

Through the examination of available Buddhist press materials, this thesis has partially reflected the current status of Buddhist nuns in Vietnam. The role of nuns in promoting the propagation of Buddhism, advocating for the intellectual liberation of women, and especially in encouraging their participation in social activities and the national liberation movement of the Vietnamese people, is also discussed.

This thesis, addressing the issue of women within the Buddhist nun community for the first time, will contribute to raising awareness of social and ideological history, as well as the history of the women's liberation movement in Vietnam during the first half of the 20th century.

11. Practical applications:

This thesis is a valuable reference for studies on modern Vietnamese history.

12. Future research directions:
