A female cyborg, part robotic and part biological, can implicit various meanings to politics of gender, race, and sexuality.This page provides a perspective of the female cyborg as a symbol of resistance and her dynamics as an embodiment of US Third World feminist struggle.

According to Donna Haraway, in her essay "The Manifesto for Cyborgs", a cyborg is a a cybernetic organism, a mixture of technology and biology, a creature of both social reality and fiction. In relation to Third World feminist identity and struggle, Haraway states, "Cyborg feminists have to argue that we do not want any more natural matrix of unity and that no construction is a whole." In support of Haraway's notion of no construction is a whole, Chela Sandoval states that, "Colonized peoples of the Americas have already developed the cyborg skills required for survival under techno-human conditions. The feminist cyborg can be understood as the technological embodiment of an oppositional consciousness that can be described as US Third World Feminism. Feminist cyborgs are the agents of US Third World feminism and the illegitimate offspring of "patriarchal capitalism."

In "New Sciences: Cyborg Feminism and the Methodology of the Oppressed," Sandoval also states, "Feminists of Color keep intact shifting multiple identities with "integrity" and love. The cyborg of Haraway's feminist manifesto must also be resolutely committed to partiality, irony, intimacy and perversity. Moreover, Haraway states "A cyborg world might be about lived social and body realities in which people are not afraid of their joint kinship with animals and machines, not afraid of partial identitities and contradictory standpoints.
