| Abstract | Luminary order is a well-respected Buddhist nuns' order in Taiwan. In this essay，I will examine the phenomenon of Luminary nuns from three aspects：symbol，structure，and education. Through the examination of the three aspects, I will show why the phenomenon of Luminary nuns might be seen as a feminist movement. Although an active agent in many aspects, I will also show that the success of Luminary nuns has its roots in the social，historical，and economic conditions in Taiwan. |
