Beskrivning

This edited volume examines mass media portrayals of women leaders and other powerful women in popular culture. Contributors argue that increased media visibility and representation can lead to more widespread acceptance of women as societal leaders. The book employs an interdisciplinary, intersectional, and international approach to its coverage of these portrayals and their meanings for society and gender norms. Through a feminist lens, contributors examine these cultural representations within the context of gender, race, sexuality, and social class/economic status. Contributors write from varied disciplinary backgrounds, including journalism, media studies, communication, entertainment studies, sociology, psychology, anthropology, political science, information science, business, and education.

With Women’s Leadership in Popular Culture, Tracy Everbach, Gwendelyn S. Nisbett, and Newly Paul offer a resplendent assortment of perspectives on the way women leaders are, and have been, represented in media. This edited volume offers a truly intersectional collection of essays that examine depictions of women through the lenses of race, class, gender, orientation and more. Undergraduate students will enjoy its contemporary media examples that include popular music, TV shows, and sports, while researchers and graduate students will appreciate the deft incorporation of relevant theory. All readers will take heart, too, in the volume’s well-grounded research, which yes, covers the predominant stereotypes of the past, but also points to the ways representations of women leaders are, in some cases, changing for the better.
