CyberFeminism

CyberFeminism is a philosophical and artistic movement which seeks to try and find the historical relationship between feminity and technology and seeks to analyze it via Post-Structuralist and  Postmodernist critique. CyberFeminism can broadly be said to be a part of the Postmodern Feminist and  Post-Feminist tendencies of the Feminist Movement and with that it can also be said that it is part of the  Third Wave of Feminism.

Proto-CyberFeminism
The intellectual origins of CyberFeminism can be found in writers of Second Wave Feminism.

Shulamith Firestone is a big contributor to the groundwork for the CyberFeminist project, especially for her work The Dialectic of Sex: The Case for Feminist Revolution written in 1970 in which she sees the radical potential that biotechnology offers for the liberation of women from child rearing and other biological limitations.

The same can be said of Donna Haraway in her groundlaying work A Cyborg Manifesto written in 1985 in which she conceptualizes the feminine potential that the cyborg as an amorphous being clouding the taxonomy of existing species offers to the Feminist Project.
