Abstract
In the twentieth century, Taiwanese feminists have selectively appropriated various strands of Western feminism to improve women's status and meet women's needs. In this article, several scholarly works pertaining to the analysis of various strands of Taiwanese feminism, and the historical development of women's movements published in the 1990s, as well as after, will be reviewed and discussed. The lifting of martial law in 1987 created the political climate that enabled Taiwanese feminists to lift their self-censorship and contribute to the diversification of feminist discourses and ngos in Taiwanese civil society. The mid-1990s was another watershed in the transformation of Taiwanese feminist discourses and women's movement strategies.
