Former Vice-President of Taiwan, Lu Hsiu-lien will discuss her recent book about her journey. Through her successive drives for gender equality, human rights, political reform, Taiwan independence, and currently, environmental protection, Lu has played a key role in Taiwan's evolution from dictatorship to democracy. The election in 2000 of Democratic progressive Party leader Chen Shui-bian to the presidency, with Lu as his vice president, ended more than fifty years of rule by the Kuomintang (Nationalist Party).
