Alice Wang (; born 26 August 1964) is a Taiwanese politician who served in the Legislative Yuan from 1996 to 2005.
Alice Wang was born to parents Wang Kun-ho and Kao Li-chun.[1] [2] Both her father Wang Kun-ho and younger brother Wang Po-yu have served on the Taipei City Council.[1]
Alice Wang graduated from Taipei Private Yan Ping High School and attended National Taiwan University,[3] where she advocated for the democratization of Taiwan as a student activist.[1] [4] After earning a bachelor's degree in law, Wang continued her legal education at Cornell University in the United States.[5] She worked as a lawyer and also taught at Tamkang University and National Open University.[1] [6]
She won a seat on the National Assembly in 1991, taking office the next year at the age of 28.[1] She ran for the Legislative Yuan in 1995, winning reelection twice thereafter in 1998 and 2001. During her 2001 campaign, she expressed clear support for downsizing the legislature,[7] but broke with the Democratic Progressive Party by criticizing the vote allocation scheme in place that year.[8] In 2002, Wang pushed the DPP to nominate Yeh Chu-lan as its candidate for the Taipei mayoralty.[9] Instead, Yeh remained head of the Hakka Affairs Council until 2004.
As a legislator, Wang was noted for her speaking out on mental and public health issues, including tobacco consumption and drunk driving.[10] [11] In 2000, she helped draw attention to conditions at the Lungfatang psychiatric care center in Kaohsiung County.[12] [13] [14]
Wang co-founded a legislative group for unmarried female parliamentarians in 2002,[15] but left the group after marrying Wang Tsuo-liang in May 2002.[16] It was reported in 2009 that Wang and her husband were earning money from the collection of recyclables.[17] In January 2010, Alice Wang petitioned the Xindian bench of the Taipei District Court to grant her a restraining order against Wang Tsuo-liang, citing verbal and physical abuse.[18]
