This project analyzes how political women rhetorically perform-discursively, visually, and physically-their positions of power and how these performances are read, time again, against and with other women who have held similar positions in different geopolitical locations.

Controlling ovarian cancer: An introduction to detection and treatment
With current strategies proving inadequate, what needs to be done is to further the research into detecting, treating, and controlling ovarian cancer. Specifically, ovarian cancer develops when malignant ovarian cancer cells proliferate on the surface of the ovary and directly migrate/exfoliate to the peritoneal cavity where they attach to structures such as the omentum. Women at early stages of tumor growth on the omentum do not display specific symptoms and hence the tumors remain unnoticed until tumor growth is extensive. Because the ovarian tumor cells do not metastasize via the blood stream early detection of mutant cells in serum samples is not feasible with current methods. More sensitive assays and specific markers of ovarian cancer are needed.

Ovarian cancer research: Examining ovarian function and dysfunction
Ovarian cancer is largely a misnomer because the cells giving rise to malignant tissue are not derived from either follicular or luteal cells. Instead, ovarian cancer cells evolve from ovarian surface epithelial cells (OSEs) that cover the surface of the ovary and fallopian tube and separate these tissues from the abdominal peritoneal cavity. Unlike other cancers that metastasize through the vascular system, ovarian cancer cells detach from the ovarian surface, disseminate and grow in the peritoneal cavity. What are the causes of ovarian cancer? The answers to this question are complex. There is not just one, but many underlying factors. However, the most common cause that initiates cancer involves mutations in specific genes, such as tumor protein 53 (TP53), BRAC1/2, KRAS, PTEN, that lead to abnormal cell proliferation and evasion of cell death. Many of these genes are involved in DNA repair, essential for maintaining normal gene expression; others are involved in metabolic/ growth regulatory pathways.
This article addresses Inderpal Grewal and Caren Kaplan's call for transnational feminist research that makes visible "the material conditions that structure women's lives in diverse locations" (17). The author argues that videogames can contribute to feminist scholarship by creating virtual spaces that simulate how a transnational politics of location plays out on women's bodies. This article provides a spatial analysis of three videogames, République, Horizon: Zero Dawn, and Alien: Isolation, to show how the games' procedures can persuade audiences to empathize with the surveillance and precarity of women's bodies in real-life transnational experiences. While the games focus on "stealth," the limitations provided by the gameplay simulate the different ways in which women's bodies must "sneak" around national identities and rules, thus showing the ways in which a transnational politics of location creates "contradictory positions. . . [for women who] inhibit unitary identities" (Grewal and Kaplan 7).

In this article, the writer argues that the nickname of "iron lady" for women leaders provides an accurate and complicated instantiation of Donna Haraway's cyborg ontology, providing women a place from which to be responsible for their machinery, while also positioning them (potentially) as complicit agents in the hegemonic traditions of national manhood. Therefore, iron ladies—these women who are heads of state—present embodied and real-world examples of the debate over the potentials and pitfalls of cyborg ontology in women's studies and feminist research. This article uses historical examples of Margaret Thatcher, Eugenia Charles, and Indira Ghandi to establish the rhetorical trope of iron ladies; then it complicates this tradition with contemporary leaders' performance of iron lady, examining the political personas of Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, Benazir Bhutto, Ségolène Royal, and Hillary Clinton. To conclude, the writer analyzes the current U.S. political climate for the emergence of an iron lady president. Based on Clinton's campaign in 2008, it seems that the iron lady rhetorical performance had become visible to the same patriarchal systems that cyborgs attempt to subvert, thus requiring female politicians to reconsider the potentials of this technologized rhetorical performance.
