It is Lan Po-chou's hope that his account will make his readers appreciate that despite the atmosphere of censorship and taboo that reigned in Taiwan during the White Terror, a number of women struggled for their ideals without regard to their personal safety. He also hopes that The Good Women of Taiwan will broaden his readers 'perspectives and help them resist pettiness and selfishness in their own lives.
他希望讀者透過他筆下報導的人物，瞭解過去在閉塞且充滿禁忌的時代氛圍下，仍有一些女性可以為了理想，奮不顧身，堅持一切。他也期許讀者在看完書後可以使自己的人生觀更開闊，視野更放大，而不必要計較眼前瑣碎的小利小益。
