In the mid-1970s, under former Taiwan governor Hsieh Tung-min's "home as a factory" policy, Taiwan formally entered a period of economically mobilizing its entire population. From the handmade Christmas lights and stuffed toys early on, to the piecework for apparel makers in the current era, women's skilled hands have long helped to put the label "Made in Taiwan" in every Western home.
1970 年代中期，在前台灣省主席謝東閔揭櫫的「家庭即工廠」政策下，台灣正式進入全民拚經濟年代，從早期的聖誕手工燈泡、填充玩偶，到近年國人自創品牌的服飾代工，女性巧手趕工而成的商品早已隨著「Made in Taiwan」的標牌進入每一個歐美家庭。
