Gender Reversed in Neuromancer In a world where beauty is literally a small price to pay to achieve. Reading the novel Neuromancer it is not surprising that all the women described are not defined as socially unacceptable. Instead, they all have important roles: Molly is a street samurai, 3Jane is the leader of a world-dominating family, Marie-Frances is a silent and manipulative mother and Linda Lee is, well okay, she fits the girlfriend stereotype in most books. . Stereotypical is not the definition used to describe Molly and Case's relationship. From the first time they meet, Molly is the one he chases. In most relationships the man appears to be the aggressor; Molly takes on that role with authority. He is following him to recruit him for his team under the leadership of Armitage. This team is working under the watchful circuits of an artificial intelligence (AI) called Wintermute. Wintermute and Neuromancer are two AIs created by a powerful family, Tessier-Ashpool (TA). Wintermute needs Molly's muscles and case hacking ability to successfully team up with Wintermute with Neuromancer. This family is led by Ashpool and next in line is 3Jane. The Wintermute manager who wants to join is the mother and visionist Marie-France. 3Jane and Marie-France have a different approach to power. 3Jane is more silent and patient, while; Marie-France is manipulative and has ideas of her own. Marie-France uses her silence to wait for an opportunity to advance her plan to join Wintermute and Neuromancer. 3Jane uses her silence to advance through the ranks unnoticed, but both have more power in their minds. Power isn't the only reversed gender role Molly displays. His relationship with Case is a clear gender reversal. Molly starts as an attacker and ends up as a user. After his previous encounter with Case, he undergoes an operation that allows him to be able to connect to the matrix without a computer. Molly stays at his house to care for him after he wakes up from surgery. Obviously in the opposite roles Molly is there for one thing, sex. Even during the brief sex scene Molly proves to be the more dominant figure. She is the one who initiates the situation and takes the bull by the horns. Taking on a difficult situation is nothing new for Molly..
