Abstract
This article aims to figure out why feminist legal theory is called for being studied in Vietnam and what are the possible implications of the movement of adopting feminist legal theory in Vietnam, specifically, for Vietnamese academia legal education and scholarship. This article first argues that Vietnamese legal scholarship and education lacks a soul regarding gender-related issues—a feminist insight.
