Donna Haraway-Birth Sept 6, 1944 to current

  • Cyborg Manifesto

    Donna creates her first work the Cyborg Manifesto. This work reflects the climate of politics, social and other's that which she lived thru. Using the idea of a Cyborg as being both organic and inorganic being able to unify mankind and thought processes of that for woman and man.
  • Situated Knowledges

    This work is unique and challenged by the fact that this idea states that individual perspectives can add to the "picture". That being aware of ones own position can add to the collective knowledge by being objective in nature.
  • Primate Visions

    This is a great work focusing on the realities how men in essence have been putting their masculine spin on sexual reproduction and lessening the major role that woman play. By this she means to drive other woman to get their voice heard and be involved as to speak up for the rest. An example is the unique perspective a mother has on observations vs that of a man. Though both have differing backgrounds, it is the combination of them that gives a complete picture.

    "primate biology as a contest over the body of nature, played out between the forces of good and evil. The evil cause is that of straight white males, capitalists, liberals, and individualists, who stand for "exploitation of the emergent Third World, obligatory and normative heterosexuality, masculine dominance of a progressively war-based scien- tific enterprise in industrial civilization." Her advocacy on the feminist front is for society not only for philosophy!
