Gender, Property, and the “Autonomy Thesis” in
Southeast Asia: The Endowment of Local Succession
in Early Modern Vietnam
NHUNG TUYET TRAN

counterparts. This essay challenges the claims of bilateralism and argues that
Lê dynasty law, local custom, and legal practice preserved the principles of patri-
