A Cyborg Manifesto
Haraway published an essay called " Manifesto for Cyborgs: Science, Technology, and Socialist-Feminism". She contributed greatly to feminist narratives of the twentieth century. The Manifesto gives a response to rising conservatism during the 1980's in the United States. It explains that there is nothing about being female that binds women together into a unified category. She argues that rather than using indent, women should create coalitions based on affinity. -
Continuation of a Cyborg Manifesto
Haraway further explains that her "Manifesto" is an attempt to build an ironic political myth that is faithful to feminism, socialism and materialism. She tries to find ways to end dominating behavior and old social norms that women were subject to. -
