Cyberfeminism is dedicated to the intersections of feminism and technology, specifically the Internet. Drawing on postmodern theories of identity and gender, cyberfeminism is a philosophical movement that finds itself at odds with labels and attempts to limit and categorize it as a definitive genre or philosophical set of practices. Cyberfeminism is not a programmatic set of rules by which a woman can live her life or start a legal movement or political course of action. Ideally, cyberfeminism is a strategy that can open opportunities and (im)possibilities for new forms of multiplicity and diversity, bringing up questions instead of answering them.

Hypermedia and hypertext allow for the creation of multilinear narratives. George P. Landow defines hypertext as text that is based on groups of images and words that are electronically connected through many paths. Hypertext can be described using the terms link, node, network, web, and path. Hypermedia extends the notions of text in hypertext to multimedia forms of content, including images, video, and sound.

Jaylin, a Suicide Girl, is a part of an alternative genre of feminist actors who perform the pain of beauty in order to upset beauty’s hegemonic control on women’s bodies. The tattoos of Jaylin speak to the contradictory performances of gendered actors in light of Butler’s theories on agency to highlight the ways in which agents subvert imposed subjectivities. This paper argues that beauty is thus not only a system of control, but also a means by which the individual can resist power structures through positive articulations of one’s agency.
