Description
Women politicians have long experienced sexist coverage from the media. Reflecting from her personal stories and her doctoral research, political scientist Blair Williams examines five key gendered tropes used by the media. Blair asks that we change the way we engage with the media to create a fairer society for all. Blair Williams, a regular federal political correspondent for Radio Adelaide, is interested in the gendered print media coverage of women prime ministers from English-speaking Westminster democracies. She has interviewed both Julia Gillard and Helen Clark and her research has been highly acclaimed and presented in international conferences.
