Plant, Sadie. "The Future Looms: Weaving Women and Cybernetics" (1995). Anthologized in Jenny Wolmark, ed. Cybersexualities: A Reader on Feminist Theory, Cyborgs and Cyberspace. Edinburgh: Edinburgh UP, 1999. Reviewed Veronica Hollinger, "Doing It for Ourselves: Two Feminist Cyber-Readers, our source here, q.v.[1]


A rather eutopian work that Hollinger appreciates, with reservations, as "an optimistic and celebratory manifesto for the emancipatory possibilities for women of contemporary information technologies," suggesting "female cyber-embodiment and cyber-empowerment" (Hollinger p. 428).
