It has had a rocky ride the last few years. Yang says that after the DPP took power in 2000, many feminist and other activist groups slowly came to be absorbed into the government. The power of their movements and their ability to bring issues to the attention of the public grew weaker, and Fembooks began losing business.
楊瑛瑛分析，2000 年政黨輪替後，包括婦運團體在內的各種社運團體，逐漸被政府吸納收編，運動力及營造議題的能力也漸趨薄弱，連帶使得女書店的經營也受到影響，「加上現在大學生不像過去那樣渴求知識，學生消費族群少了，書店營運自然受到影響。」
