Vo Thi Sau Tomb

Vo Thi Sau is one of the most famous women in Vietnam. She was a Viet Minh revolutionary against the French. Imprisoned in the 'tiger cages' in Con Dao at 16, she was executed about four years later and was the first Vietnamese woman to be sentenced to death. Her tomb is permanently adorned with fresh flowers as many islanders and Vietnamese tourists come to pay respect to her memory. As a national heroine, her face also features on Vietnamese stamps.
