Manifesto for Cyborgs: Science, Technology, and Socialist-Feminism in the 1980s
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."
