Vo Thi Sau was born in 1933 in Dat Do town, Long Dat district. In 1947, when she was only 14 years old, she became a scout of the Dat Do Volunteer Police Team. On the occasion of Tet Canh Dan (1950), Vo Thi Sau volunteered to hunt down the villains who specialized in robbing Dat Do market in her hometown, but unfortunately she was later captured by the enemy. In April 1950, Vo Thi Sau was imprisoned in Chi Hoa prison. The French held a trial to sentence her to "death" when she was still under the age of majority. The French feared public opposition, so they took Vo Thi Sau to Con Dao for execution.
