Cyborgs in science-fictionalized versions of romance narratives. Hollinger tells us, "Wolmark reads a range of feminist texts, including Elizabeth Hand’s baroque and challenging Winterlong (1990) and Emma Bull’s feminist cyberpunk novel, Bone Dance (1991). She concludes by calling attention to how these texts re-examine and redefine conventional ideas about female subjectivity and female desire.
