Tiptree uses phrases like “pumped-out hulk”, “girl-brute” and “carcass” as terms to devalue the body of P. Burke. This devalued body of P. Burke is useless to society within the story. This version of female embodiment is shown in contrast to Delphi, the perfect\",\n \"title\": \"The Girl Who Was Plugged In\"\n },\n {\n \"docid\": \"3124221\",\n \"text\": \"society, making her unable to form emotional connections or experience love until her disembodiment and re-embodiment as Delphi. Consequently, P. Burke feels more human in the beautiful vessel Delphi than in her own body, because society finally accepts and recognizes her existence. In other words, P. Burke is dependent on technology to be able to participate in society. While Hollinger reads \\\"The Girl Who Was Plugged In\\\" through the ideological lens of gender as a performance, Hicks believe Tiptree connects female disembodiment with women's relationship to technology. Delphi, made for the sole purpose of advertising, is the living example of\",\n \"title\": \"The Girl Who Was Plugged In\"\n },\n {\n \"docid\": \"3124218\",\n \"text\": \"her mind controls the beautiful but \\\"empty\\\" body called Delphi, thus the female body in meeting with technology creates a separation between the body and the mind where P.

Burke to idolize the ideal that \\\"the Gods\\\" embody and so P. Burke willingly commits the act of \\\"performing femininity\\\". Another way disembodiment and oppression of the female body is seen in \\\"The Girl Who was Plugged In\\\" is the words used to\",\n \"title\": \"The Girl Who Was Plugged In\"\n },\n {\n \"docid\": \"3124216\",\n \"text\": \"to conform to a constructed ideal of femininity in order to avoid being seen as a failure or to some extent incomplete.
