Trang Hạ is a writer, marathoner, social activist, and communications consultant based in Hanoi. She has authored numerous best-selling novels and short story collections and has successfully translated many novels and stories from the Chinese. Her work revolves around the topics of the status of women in society, the LGBT community, family lives, and the pursuit of status and happiness of young Vietnamese. She obtained a Bachelor's degree at the University of Foreign Languages in Hanoi and a Masters of Communications in Taiwan.
Born in 1975 in Hanoi, Trang Ha represents a generation of Vietnamese that was born after the war and that grew up in the context of a fast-changing Vietnam. Under the market economy and the country’s opening to the world, social values are redefined dramatically. Trang Ha’s generation is made of those who live in a traditional family while competing in a pragmatic, modernizing society.
During twenty years of working in the communications field and many years working abroad as a journalist, Trang Ha gained a comparative perspective between life in Vietnam and abroad, and between the conditions of women in Vietnam and women elsewhere. Trang Ha has actively been calling Vietnamese women to move away from a dependent lifestyle and old-fashioned, constraining, patriarchal values. Trang Ha’s writings praise a progressive, financially independent, and emotionally independent woman who has her own opinion on life. In 2015, her statements, magazine articles, and publications ignited millions of discussions on social media in Vietnam, as she called for women’s rights and criticized the selfishness of Vietnamese men. UN Women chose her as one of the ambassador for the “He for She” campaign in 2015 in Vietnam.
In 2017, Trang Ha is Vietnamese Forbes list of “Vietnam's 50 Most Influential Women”.
In 2018, Trang Ha is the first Vietnamese who ran Boston Marathon.
