In 1985, Haraway published the essay "Manifesto for Cyborgs: Science, Technology, and Socialist-Feminism in the 1980s" in Socialist Review.
This is considered her greatest work and was characterized as "an effort to build an ironic political myth faithful to feminism, socialism, and materialism". For Haraway, the Manifesto offered a response to the rising conservatism during the 1980s in the United States at a critical juncture at which feminists, in order to have any real-world significance, had to acknowledge their "situatedness" within what she terms the "informatics of domination." -
1990, Haraway publishes her book: Primate Visions: Gender, Race, and Nature in the World of Modern Science.
In her book, Haraway contended that female primatologists focus on different observations that require more communication and basic survival activities, offering very different perspectives of the origins of nature and culture than the currently accepted ones. Drawing on examples of Western narratives and ideologies of gender, race and class, Haraway questioned the most fundamental constructions of scientific human nature stories based on primates. -
In 1999, Haraway received the Society for Social Studies of Science's Ludwik Fleck Prize.
Haraway's works have sparked debate in primatology, philosophy, and developmental biology. Haraway participated in a collaborative exchange with the feminist theorist Lynn Randolph from 1990 to 1996. Their engagement with specific ideas relating to feminism, technoscience, political consciousness, and other social issues, formed the images and narrative of Haraway's book Modest_Witness, published in 1997, for which she received the award. -
In September 2000, Haraway was awarded the Society for Social Studies of Science's highest honor, the J. D. Bernal Award.
In 2000, Haraway was awarded the J. D. Bernal Prize for her distinguished contributions to the field of science and technology studies. Most notably for her 1985 publication: "Manifesto for Cyborgs: Science, Technology, and Socialist-Feminism in the 1980s" in Socialist Review. Her work criticizes anthropocentrism, emphasizes the self-organizing powers of nonhuman processes, and explores dissonant relations between those processes and cultural practices, rethinking sources of ethics. -
