Feminist hypertext, in other words, is transgressive; it crosses borders and creates new ways of reading and writing, as well as new approaches to narrative. In a 1996 article, Mary-Jo Haronian applauded women who “write beyond the old endings to delegitimate the romance plot’s usual conclusions, and to envision new paths for lives as well as for stories” (32). Haronian envisioned a novel “of simultaneous and interwoven sub-plots, following no set order and allowing for infinite stories with infinite uses: something like a rich Victorian novel in Hypertext software” (32). Of course, in 1996 such hypertexts were already on the market, although, given their heterogeneous, “genre-busting” styles, they have been difficult to categorize as novels.
