Happy Women in History Wednesday! Today we honor Annette Lu Hsiu-lien, an advocate for democracy in Taiwan imprisoned for over five years for speaking out against the government. She graduated from the University of Illinois with a degree in Law in 1971. She established herself as a feminist advocate in Taiwan through her writing, including a book titled New Feminism.
The Women in History Wednesday content comes from the Illinois 150 for 150 website celebrating the Accomplishments of Women at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign created by the Gender Equity Council and the University Library.
