These 40 years have also been a period in which Taiwanese society's pluralistic culture and values have formed. Society has gone from being a strict patriarchy to one in which there is equality between the sexes and the political climate has liberalized from its former ideological oppressiveness. But in natural desires, economic circumstances, and the initiative to take action, women still carry the burden of traditional mores.
這段歲月，正是台灣社會接受多元文化與價值洗禮的年代，然而，儘管社會已從絕對父權走向男女平權，政治氛圍也從思想禁錮走向民主自由，但是對於人性本能的「性」、生存所需的「金錢」、執行思想意志的「發球權」，女性始終背負著禮教壓力而屈居弱勢。
