In 1927, when she was just 18, Bao Luong left her village home to join Ho Chi Minh's Revolutionary Youth League and fight both for national independence and for women's equality. A year later, she became embroiled in the Barbier Street murder, a crime in which unruly passion was mixed with revolutionary ardor. Weaving together Bao Luong's own memoir with excerpts from newspaper articles, family gossip, and official documents, this book by Bao Luong's niece takes us from rural life in the Mekong Delta to the bustle of colonial Saigon. It provides a rare snapshot of Vietnam in the first decades of the twentieth century and a compelling account of one woman's struggle to make a place for herself in a world fraught with intense political intrigue. 606 $aWomen revolutionaries$zVietnam$zHo Chi Minh City$vBiography 606 $aWomen political prisoners$zVietnam$zHo Chi Minh City$vBiography 607 $aHo Chi Minh City (Vietnam)$xSocial conditions$y20th century 607 $aHo Chi Minh City (Vietnam)$vBiography 615 0$aWomen revolutionaries 615 0$aWomen political prisoners 676 $a959.7/03092 676 $aB 700 $aTai$b Hue-Tam Ho$f1948-$01043228 701 $aNguyen$b Trung Nguyet$01607224 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910815225003321 996 $aPassion, betrayal, and revolution in colonial Saigon$93933412 997 $aUNINA
