Abstract
The glass ceiling that women encountered in Taiwan’s traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has remained chiefly unchallenged, with only a few individual women’s exceptional success in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. Even in the twenty-first century, most of Taiwan’s prominent TCM experts and scholars of Taiwanese history are ignorant of or resistant to the significant value of women in Taiwan’s TCM history as well as in women’s studies, gender studies, and sexology. © Springer International Publishing AG 2018.
