This paper discusses the meanings of冶ender and science" in con temporary Taiwan. Itfocuses on the contemporary Taiwan women scientists and the related issues by way of the perspectives of western feminism's critics of science. The sample of this study is the 476 women scientists registered in Taiwan's National Science Foundation， and we base our study on the returned 240 questionnaires from them. In the structure of the questionnaire， we extensively discuss the ethinic distribution， career history， marriage situation， their positions in the academic system， their self-perceived images and special qualities as women scientists. From detailed quantitative considerations and analyses of their writing responses to our questions， we not only come to understand their special experiences in various social-gender contexts.， but also find their differences from some western situations of “womenin science". Through the experience of Taiwan's women scientists， this study would also make contributions to the debates about the possibility and. specificity of the women's science/feminism's science.
