While I agree that Haraway might say that 'women of colour' are much more cyborgian than Frankenstein's creature, there is one difference between 'women of colour' and Frankenstein's creature that complicates things in my mind: Frankenstein's creature is completely alone; he has NO community.  'Women of colour' may not try to fit in with society as a whole, but they already have a community with one another.  If Frankenstein's creature had a community, a female creature like the one he asked for, he says that we would have stopped trying to assimilate with mainstream culture.  He would have completely removed himself and embraced his own community (even if it were a community with only one other creature).  Does this difference, perhaps, make Frankenstein's creature uncomparable to the 'women of colour'?
