Early feminists concentrated on proclaiming the ideals of the movement. But in the 1990s, given new opportunities by a changing political system, the Taiwan women's movement, like other social movements, turned its attention to attaining strategic goals of getting new legislation passed or existing laws amended, aiming to use the machinery of state to improve women's rights.
