"The notion of re-centering rather than de-centering provides a fruitful way to address the question of gender difference in the construction and reception of hypertexts. Because Storyspace is a (three-dimensional) spatial form, it accomodates itself particularly well to questioning our established sense of spatial relations, including overtones of hierarchy and order. The form may, that is, explore this concept of space as well as making use of it-- space--and the hierarchies encoded by delimited space-- can then become preoccupations of the text." Alison Sainsbury
