10. Summary of the thesis results:
- Vietnamese literature after 1975, with its major transformation, opened its doors to female writers. The massive emergence of female poets, along with the rapid publication of anthologies of women's poetry, breathed new life into poetry, contributing to the enrichment of the literary landscape and restoring balance in the creative output of male and female authors. In contemporary women's poetry, writers are now highly self-aware of themselves and their gender, distinguishing themselves from men, and seeking their own unique characteristics and identity—or, in other words, establishing gender consciousness in their works.
Based on theories of gender and feminism, this thesis examines the works of two specific authors: Tuyet Nga and Pham Thi Ngoc Lien. These two poets, with their distinct styles and personalities, both clearly express a feminine self and fully reveal the characteristic thoughts of women regarding individuality, love, and society. They reflect the desire to be oneself, to live authentically, to be free from traditional prejudices, and the wish of women to be recognized fairly and equally by society compared to men.
- In terms of art, through the system of symbols, poetic forms, tone, and language, it can be seen that, alongside their unique stylistic features, both female poets seek to return to the flowing currents of traditional poetic art, while simultaneously aiming for new and bold innovations to affirm their own artistic individuality. These are their individual breakthroughs on the path of self-discovery and self-affirmation, affirming gender power. This not only represents an effort to innovate art in literature in general, but also clearly demonstrates the poets' gender consciousness, contributing to balance in women's literature and gender equality in the field of linguistic creation.

10. Summary of the findings of the thesis:
- Vietnamese literature after 1975 with a vigorous change welcoming female writers. The crowded emergence of female poets together with the rapid issues of women's poet collections blew a fresh wind for poetry, embellished the literature appearance and recovered the balance of composition between male and female writers. In women's modern poetry, nowadays, authors are highly self-conscious of themselves and their gender along with the difference between mankind and womankind, find their own specific characteristics and essence marks; in other words, they establish the awareness of gender characteristics in their writings.
- On the basis of gender characteristic and feminism theory, the thesis studies poets of two specific authors: Tuyet Nga and Pham Thi Ngoc Lien. They are two poets, two pioneers and two different personalities but both of them clearly express their female instincts and fully expose their thoughts of individual, love and society, which are their aspirations to be themselves, to live with their real selves, to be rescued from traditional preconceptions and the women's wish to be recognized fairly and equally by the society in comparison with mankind.
- With regard to artistry, through symbol system, style of poetry, tongue and language, it can be noticed that both of female poets come back to the current of traditional poetry artistic source, at the same time turn to daring and fresh innovation to confirm their own artistic character. Those are their particular breakthroughs on the way to find and confirm themselves and gender power. It is not only the effort to innovate literary artistry in general but also the obvious expression of the poet's awareness of gender characteristics, which contributes to the balance of women's literature and equality of women's rights in the language creativity field.
