Discourse, Politics and Women as Global Leaders focuses on the discourse practices of women in global political leadership. It provides a series of discursive studies of women in positions of political leadership. ‘Political leadership’ is defined as achieving a senior position within a political organization and will often indicate a senior role in government or opposition. The volume draws on a diverse collection of studies from across the globe, reflecting a variety of cultures and distinct polities. The primary aim is to consider in what way(s) discursive practice underpins, reflects, or is appropriated in terms of women’s political success and achievements within politics. The chapters employ differing theoretical approaches all bound by the discursive insights they provide, and in terms of their contribution to understanding the role of language and discourse in the construction of gendered identities within political contexts.

Margaret Thatcher was the first woman to become Prime Minister of the UK. It has been claimed, however, that she did little for the cause of women. Part of the problem is Thatcher made clear that while she was a woman she thought of herself as a politician first. In this chapter we consider the linguistic consequences of adopting such a position, and we argue that Thatcher used specific discourse structures conducive to the adversarial style of the British parliament. As this style has been equated with male discourse patterns some argue that Thatcher adopted male linguistic norms. However, adversarial styles are not inherently “male” and we consider whether Thatcher was speaking like a man or merely as a politician.

During the last half of the 20th century grass root women’s movements have been instrumental in the transition to democracy in Latin America. These social movements were followed by an increased political representation of women at the congressional level, and within the last few decades, six women have been chosen to the highest office: Violeta Barrios de Chamorro (1990–97), Nicaragua; Mireya Moscoso de Arias (1999–2004), Panamá; Laura Chinchilla (2010–2014), in Costa Rica; Michelle Bachelet (2006–2010 & 2014 to present), Chile; Cristina Fernández de Kirchner (2007–to present), Argentina; Dilma Rousseff (2011 to present), Brazil. In our paper, we examine the discursive practices that allowed Kirchner and Bachelet to win their presidencies, and their position on gender, human rights, and economic issues.

The chapter addresses Helle Thorning-Schmidt’s performance of leadership through an analysis of her use of 1st person pronouns in two news interviews, one in Danish and the other in English. The analysis reveals a preference for the collective perspective, particularly in the Danish interview. Through strategies of shifting, blurring, aligning and contesting perspective, Thorning-Schmidt deals with issues of crisis and identity management. There are indications that she is operating with notions of transformational leadership, blended with characteristics of transactional leadership. Although a transformational leadership style is argued by some to be more feminine, I suggest that gender aspects are more apparent in relation to Thorning-Schmidt’s authenticity and legitimacy as a social democrat in the national, but not the international, context.

This study considers how the first female Republican vice-presidential candidate in American politics, Sarah Palin, draws on stereotypes of gendered language in crafting her persona within the limitations of the Twitter platform of 140 characters. Her use of a more informal and vernacular style associated her symbolically not only with a populist message but also with the covert prestige linked to working class male speech. Palin, brought from relative obscurity as governor of Alaska, embodied a compelling combination of beauty-pageant appearance and traditional female roles of wife and mother with a brash and informal speaking style more usually associated with men. This study examines how her distinctive spoken style and political stance are translated into written tweets.

In this article, we explore women’s political discourse in Tunisia since the January 2011 Uprising. We use the Critical Discourse Analysis approach to examine the political discourse and discursive strategies of the major political parties through the lens of the female MPs in the National Constituent Assembly. We first focus on women’s role and participation in politics, their discursive practices in controversial contexts such as gender equality and faith-based issues. Then we use the “Community of Practice” method to address the issue of feminine and gender-identified political discourse and report findings from a survey-based empirical study. The results suggest that women’s empowerment and agency require further political participation achieved through an intersectional perspective that associates gender with poverty and urban/rural inequalities.

This chapter charts the political career of Julia Gillard, Australia’s first female Prime Minister (2010–2013), and argues that three intertwined discourses of gender shaped how she was perceived and represented in the political domain and in the media. First, Gillard was faced with challenges such as the “double bind,” by which female leaders are expected to demonstrate qualities stereotypically associated with masculinity, and at the same time to display qualities stereotypically associated with femininity. Second, Gillard faced sexist abuse in politics and media which labelled her an “unintelligible being.” Third, in acts of “strategic essentialism,” Gillard condemned the misogyny she endured, repositioning herself as a coherent political force and marking the re-emergence of feminism in Australian politics.

This chapter analyses discursive construction of collaboration of women in politics and the media in Cameroon. Using interviews and data from print and audio-visual media, we examine how female journalists and politicians strategically exploit opportunities and gaps within the system to increase numbers of women in decision making positions. We analyze data using Critical Discourse Analysis (Wodak & Meyer 2009). We identify discourses of collaboration and discourses that subvert traditional gender ideologies about women as not public (in politics and media). Drawing on discourses such as “the sisterhood discourse,” female journalists and politicians collaborate to exploit systemic gaps such as shortage of media programs to include programs that empower women or conduct interviews highlighting women’s voices and equality discourse.

This chapter analyses an exchange where hecklers interrupt Hillary Rodham Clinton (HRC) at a 2008 U. S. Presidential campaign town hall meeting. Analysis of video records describes HRC’s impromptu, embodied rhetorical response that repositions the disruptors onto the discursive margin and upholds women’s discursive rights as she sidesteps the trap of the “double-bind,” and consolidates audience alignment with her values. Studying how public speakers negotiate unplanned, complex, multi-party events can reveal more about a leader’s discursive skills and social intelligence than the study of planned, text-centric political discourse alone. This chapter analyzes emergent, multimodal interaction (linguistic and gestural), and visible contributions from social others addressed by the speaker, a methodological shift important for recognizing the depth of women’s public speaking skill and stylistic variety.

An analysis of 21 women campaigning for the office of governor in 10 different states over a twenty-four year period in the US shows how they position themselves as ready for executive leadership. In interactive televised debates, they construct identities designed as convincing, knowledgeable and authoritative and defend them from challenges. Democrats, Republicans and Independents alike claim leadership skills, experience, toughness, and situate these claims to be responsive to opponents’ identities, potential double binds and voter issues. Employing a wide range of discourse identities and linguistic strategies appropriate to the situated context, these candidates, experts in their field, lead us to understand the many different ways they compete to gain the edge in the campaign context.

The present study examines divergent political discourse systems in postcolonial Hong Kong (cf. Flowerdew 1997), as distinguished by the political claims of two female leaders regarding universal suffrage: Carrie LAM Cheng Yuet-ngor and Emily LAU Wai-hing. Data for analysis are derived from their public speeches addressed in the legislative council of Hong Kong from 2010–2013. The discourse of the chief secretary for Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, Carrie Lam, lacks a feminine register and represents the Confucianist discourse system, emphasizing consensus-seeking with the central government of China and people of Hong Kong. In contrast, the chairwoman of the Democratic Party, Emily Lau, with traces of a female register represents the Utilitarian discourse system, stressing the soonest possible timeline of universal suffrage as per “international standards.”

The article discusses the relation of gender and power in journalistic coverage of leading politicians. Looking in detail at the German chancellor Angela Merkel, a qualitative textual analysis of printed news media as well as glossies shows how politics are still designed as a male field while its constitutive outside is the female. Nevertheless a female actor becomes successful in it. The analysis shows that the almost normal presence of women in powerful political positions requires new modes of media analysis. The dichotomist distinction between male and female actors and a specific focus on forms of women’s stereotyping does not lead to sufficient results. This analysis offers opportunities for deconstructing the gendered system of politics.

Finnish women have held all the highest positions in politics, and yet their media presence has repeatedly been portrayed as weaker than men’s. This article examines how newspapers ascribe gender to political leaders and what questions this opens in political communication research. In addition to a quantitative analysis, data from the most widely read Finnish newspapers, daily broadsheets and six-day-a-week tabloids, are interpreted and complemented with a qualitative content analysis of the Social Democratic Party of Finland’s first female party leader. This article demonstrates that female and male politicians are not given equal media representation. Moreover, the media evaluates the personalities and actions of political leaders from distinctively gendered perspectives.

Incumbent president of Liberia, Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, currently serving her second term, is the first democratically elected female head of state in modern Africa. During the 2005 and 2011 elections, Sirleaf strategically performed multiple discursive identities, appealing to both male and female constituents. This qualitative pragmatic discourse analysis supplemented by quantitative data, reveals media stylizations of Sirleaf ranging from that of a “grandmother” to the “Iron Lady” to “Ma Ellen,” mother of a country. The present study demonstrates the gendered and non-gendered discourses Sirleaf employs, and introduces the theoretical framework of gender-neutral, gender-polar and gender-biased text. The political brands Sirleaf discursively establishes for herself are compared with and contrasted to brands of the Liberian president as styled by international media.

It provides a series of discursive studies of women in positions of political leadership. ‘Political leadership’ is defined as achieving a senior position within a political organization and will often indicate a senior role in government or opposition. The volume draws on a diverse collection of studies from across the globe, reflecting a variety of cultures and distinct polities.

Margaret Thatcher was the first woman to become Prime Minister of the UK. It has been claimed, however, that she did little for the cause of women. Part of the problem is Thatcher made clear that while she was a woman she thought of herself as a politician first. In this chapter we consider the linguistic consequences of adopting such a position, and we argue that Thatcher used specific discourse structures conducive to the adversarial style of the British parliament. As this style has been equated with male discourse patterns some argue that Thatcher adopted male linguistic norms. However, adversarial styles are not inherently “male” and we consider whether Thatcher was speaking like a man or merely as a politician.

During the last half of the 20th century grass root women’s movements have been instrumental in the transition to democracy in Latin America. These social movements were followed by an increased political representation of women at the congressional level, and within the last few decades, six women have been chosen to the highest office: Violeta Barrios de Chamorro (1990–97), Nicaragua; Mireya Moscoso de Arias (1999–2004), Panamá; Laura Chinchilla (2010–2014), in Costa Rica; Michelle Bachelet (2006–2010 & 2014 to present), Chile; Cristina Fernández de Kirchner (2007–to present), Argentina; Dilma Rousseff (2011 to present), Brazil. In our paper, we examine the discursive practices that allowed Kirchner and Bachelet to win their presidencies, and their position on gender, human rights, and economic issues.

The chapter addresses Helle Thorning-Schmidt’s performance of leadership through an analysis of her use of 1st person pronouns in two news interviews, one in Danish and the other in English. The analysis reveals a preference for the collective perspective, particularly in the Danish interview. Through strategies of shifting, blurring, aligning and contesting perspective, Thorning-Schmidt deals with issues of crisis and identity management. There are indications that she is operating with notions of transformational leadership, blended with characteristics of transactional leadership. Although a transformational leadership style is argued by some to be more feminine, I suggest that gender aspects are more apparent in relation to Thorning-Schmidt’s authenticity and legitimacy as a social democrat in the national, but not the international, context.

This study considers how the first female Republican vice-presidential candidate in American politics, Sarah Palin, draws on stereotypes of gendered language in crafting her persona within the limitations of the Twitter platform of 140 characters. Her use of a more informal and vernacular style associated her symbolically not only with a populist message but also with the covert prestige linked to working class male speech. Palin, brought from relative obscurity as governor of Alaska, embodied a compelling combination of beauty-pageant appearance and traditional female roles of wife and mother with a brash and informal speaking style more usually associated with men. This study examines how her distinctive spoken style and political stance are translated into written tweets.

In this article, we explore women’s political discourse in Tunisia since the January 2011 Uprising. We use the Critical Discourse Analysis approach to examine the political discourse and discursive strategies of the major political parties through the lens of the female MPs in the National Constituent Assembly. We first focus on women’s role and participation in politics, their discursive practices in controversial contexts such as gender equality and faith-based issues. Then we use the “Community of Practice” method to address the issue of feminine and gender-identified political discourse and report findings from a survey-based empirical study. The results suggest that women’s empowerment and agency require further political participation achieved through an intersectional perspective that associates gender with poverty and urban/rural inequalities.

This chapter charts the political career of Julia Gillard, Australia’s first female Prime Minister (2010–2013), and argues that three intertwined discourses of gender shaped how she was perceived and represented in the political domain and in the media. First, Gillard was faced with challenges such as the “double bind,” by which female leaders are expected to demonstrate qualities stereotypically associated with masculinity, and at the same time to display qualities stereotypically associated with femininity. Second, Gillard faced sexist abuse in politics and media which labelled her an “unintelligible being.” Third, in acts of “strategic essentialism,” Gillard condemned the misogyny she endured, repositioning herself as a coherent political force and marking the re-emergence of feminism in Australian politics.

This chapter analyses discursive construction of collaboration of women in politics and the media in Cameroon. Using interviews and data from print and audio-visual media, we examine how female journalists and politicians strategically exploit opportunities and gaps within the system to increase numbers of women in decision making positions. We analyze data using Critical Discourse Analysis (Wodak & Meyer 2009). We identify discourses of collaboration and discourses that subvert traditional gender ideologies about women as not public (in politics and media). Drawing on discourses such as “the sisterhood discourse,” female journalists and politicians collaborate to exploit systemic gaps such as shortage of media programs to include programs that empower women or conduct interviews highlighting women’s voices and equality discourse.

This chapter analyses an exchange where hecklers interrupt Hillary Rodham Clinton (HRC) at a 2008 U. S. Presidential campaign town hall meeting. Analysis of video records describes HRC’s impromptu, embodied rhetorical response that repositions the disruptors onto the discursive margin and upholds women’s discursive rights as she sidesteps the trap of the “double-bind,” and consolidates audience alignment with her values. Studying how public speakers negotiate unplanned, complex, multi-party events can reveal more about a leader’s discursive skills and social intelligence than the study of planned, text-centric political discourse alone. This chapter analyzes emergent, multimodal interaction (linguistic and gestural), and visible contributions from social others addressed by the speaker, a methodological shift important for recognizing the depth of women’s public speaking skill and stylistic variety.

An analysis of 21 women campaigning for the office of governor in 10 different states over a twenty-four year period in the US shows how they position themselves as ready for executive leadership. In interactive televised debates, they construct identities designed as convincing, knowledgeable and authoritative and defend them from challenges. Democrats, Republicans and Independents alike claim leadership skills, experience, toughness, and situate these claims to be responsive to opponents’ identities, potential double binds and voter issues. Employing a wide range of discourse identities and linguistic strategies appropriate to the situated context, these candidates, experts in their field, lead us to understand the many different ways they compete to gain the edge in the campaign context.

The present study examines divergent political discourse systems in postcolonial Hong Kong (cf. Flowerdew 1997), as distinguished by the political claims of two female leaders regarding universal suffrage: Carrie LAM Cheng Yuet-ngor and Emily LAU Wai-hing. Data for analysis are derived from their public speeches addressed in the legislative council of Hong Kong from 2010–2013. The discourse of the chief secretary for Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, Carrie Lam, lacks a feminine register and represents the Confucianist discourse system, emphasizing consensus-seeking with the central government of China and people of Hong Kong. In contrast, the chairwoman of the Democratic Party, Emily Lau, with traces of a female register represents the Utilitarian discourse system, stressing the soonest possible timeline of universal suffrage as per “international standards.”

The article discusses the relation of gender and power in journalistic coverage of leading politicians. Looking in detail at the German chancellor Angela Merkel, a qualitative textual analysis of printed news media as well as glossies shows how politics are still designed as a male field while its constitutive outside is the female. Nevertheless a female actor becomes successful in it. The analysis shows that the almost normal presence of women in powerful political positions requires new modes of media analysis. The dichotomist distinction between male and female actors and a specific focus on forms of women’s stereotyping does not lead to sufficient results. This analysis offers opportunities for deconstructing the gendered system of politics.

Finnish women have held all the highest positions in politics, and yet their media presence has repeatedly been portrayed as weaker than men’s. This article examines how newspapers ascribe gender to political leaders and what questions this opens in political communication research. In addition to a quantitative analysis, data from the most widely read Finnish newspapers, daily broadsheets and six-day-a-week tabloids, are interpreted and complemented with a qualitative content analysis of the Social Democratic Party of Finland’s first female party leader. This article demonstrates that female and male politicians are not given equal media representation. Moreover, the media evaluates the personalities and actions of political leaders from distinctively gendered perspectives.

Incumbent president of Liberia, Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, currently serving her second term, is the first democratically elected female head of state in modern Africa. During the 2005 and 2011 elections, Sirleaf strategically performed multiple discursive identities, appealing to both male and female constituents. This qualitative pragmatic discourse analysis supplemented by quantitative data, reveals media stylizations of Sirleaf ranging from that of a “grandmother” to the “Iron Lady” to “Ma Ellen,” mother of a country. The present study demonstrates the gendered and non-gendered discourses Sirleaf employs, and introduces the theoretical framework of gender-neutral, gender-polar and gender-biased text. The political brands Sirleaf discursively establishes for herself are compared with and contrasted to brands of the Liberian president as styled by international media.
