Abstract
This article analyses how gender and humanity are negotiated in relation to the figure of the cyborg woman in the television series The Bionic Woman and its remake, or re-imagination, Bionic Woman. It examines these cyborg women within a post-humanist framework, inspired by Donna Haraway's cyborg. It claims that both Bionic Woman series highlight the often-contradictory norms concerning gender and humanity and raise questions of control in human-non-human relations. The two series are also examined in the context of certain Western Euro-American understandings of humanity.
