Anh Thơ (Ninh Giang, Hải Dương Province, 25 January 1921 – 14 March 2005), real name Vương Kiều Ân, was a Vietnamese poet[1] whose work focused on women, especially their role in the Viet Minh.
In 1943, she published Hương Xuân, the first poetry collection by women poets in quốc ngữ, together with Hằng Phương, Vân Đài and Mộng Tuyết.
This can be seen as the opening poem for a separate trend in the New Poetry movement: focusing all of its inspiration on the village landscape, reviving the millennial beauty of the Vietnamese countryside.
Her poetry at this time talked a lot about the feelings and images of women in the rear, especially the woman in the cadres who bravely overcame grief, loss and separation, bearing the silent sacrifices, contributing to the victory of the nation.
During the years of anti-Americanism, Anh Tho expanded the themes and emotions in her poetry, talking about the beauty of a new life, the heroism of Vietnamese people, especially of the common woman.
