BA TRIEU'S 21st CENTURY DAUGHTERS
CON GÁI BÀ TRIỆU THẾ KỶ 21
Stories of Remarkable Vietnamese Women
A Bestselling & Award-Winning Book
​
Now in its 3rd edition, Ba Trieu’s 21st Century Daughters, celebrating the achievements of Vietnamese women, continues to resonate deeply with readers and leave a lasting impact.
The journey began when Irene Ohler, Founder of Lightpath Leadership, was inspired by the Remarkable Women of Vietnam, and felt compelled to share their stories with the world.
In 2016 the Book was born in Hanoi, giving voice to these inspiring women shaping Vietnam.
A Celebration of Remarkable Women
This Book honors the stories of 22 trailblazing Vietnamese women—across generations, professions, and regions. Some were already well-known leaders, while others were introduced to the world for the first time through these pages.
Their stories of resilience, leadership, and impact continue to inspire readers, offering a powerful glimpse into modern Vietnam—one of the world's fastest-growing economies and most rapidly evolving societies.
A Unique Collaboration
Ba Trieu’s 21st Century Daughters is more than just a book; it’s the product of a cross-cultural partnership. It brings together the perspectives of an outsider looking in, Irene Ohler, and an insider, herself shaping the future of Vietnam, Do Thuy Duong.
Inspiring the Next Generation
The Book’s compelling Stories not only highlight women’s leadership in Vietnam, but also inspires the next generation to lead with courage and purpose.

The Book is available in English and in Vietnamese.
"YOUR BOOK HAS TOUCHED MY LIFE AND INSPIRED ME TO LIVE MY DREAM AND UNLEASH MYSELF."
"Happy 5th Birthday of Ba Trieu's 21st Century Daughters!
​
On this special day, I’d like you to know how your book has touched my life and inspired me to live my dream and unleash myself. It was around 5 years ago that I saw Ba Trieu's 21st Century Daughters on the shelf in a bookstore in my neighborhood. It was an immediate spark when I read the title and the cover. After the first few pages, I knew that this book is for me, and later, I’ve had it as the Vietnam Women’s Day gift to all female employees in my organization given the inspirations and sparks it brings.
​
THANK YOU and your co-writer for giving birth to this wonderful book. I believe, since then, it has inspired thousands of females to seize their dreams and live their life to the fullest… Happy 5th birthday to your lovely “baby” !"
