Summary

This book concentrates on exploring the changing relationship between the state and working women in Taiwan by incorporating social, economic, political, and ideological factors into the historical analysis. It traces the history of state policies on women's employment, the impact of family and gender ideology on women's employment, women's role in capitalist development, and the influence of women's movements on policy-making in Taiwan. Finally, it analyzes the Taiwanese welfare regime in a gender-critical way.
