Female writer Nguyen Huong Duyen is a member of the Vietnam Writers Association. As a writer who has appeared on the lute for about 15 years, her work has given off new and different vitality in the way she looks at life and people, especially in women. Therefore, changing the taste is something people are still interested in in a fairly familiar menu. Her works have been received by the public and literary critics in many different ways. The scope of this study includes three collections of short stories by Nguyen Huong Duyen: “The arduous waiting wharf” (2006), “Among men” (2015) and “Writing to you from this kitchen” (2020). The theoretical research of the thesis is the theoretical issues of short stories, generalization of short stories by Nguyen Huong Duyen in the flow of contemporary short stories and regional prose of Central Province of Quang Binh, Vietnam; salient features of the character's world, and modes of expression. From there, readers can see the contributions of writer Nguyen Huong Duyen to the development of female short stories in particular and contemporary Vietnamese prose in general. The study explores and clarifies the characteristics of female characters in both aspects of content and art of characters portrayed in the short stories by Nguyen Huong Duyen. On that basis, it shows the writer's creative characteristics and places her short stories in the flow of contemporary female short stories. It can be said that the female character in Nguyen Huong Duyen's short stories has left a deep impression on readers. Each female character appears with different life paths and identities, but they are similar in one point: they all have an insatiable desire to find self.
