No que concerne ao trânsito da mulher na política, sem dúvida, existem inúmeras reflexões que podem ser esmiuçadas. Temos que a luta das mulheres pelos espaços de poder vem carregada de muitos desafios e obstáculos que teimam em colocá-las na esfera privada, muitas vezes vista como sinônimo de privação, enquanto que os homens permeiam na esfera pública, entrelaçada com o poder, regalias e prestígio. Pensar sobre a inserção da mulher na política nos remete a desigualdade de gênero nas relações humanas e sociais e ao patriarcado ainda vigente. Nesse sentido, essa investigação científica teve como propósito examinar e entender a participação de mulheres no espaço de representação política, verificar como funciona a dinâmica da inserção da mulher nesse espaço de poder, refletir sobre a temática de gênero, entender a dominação masculina e suas imbricações, refletir sobre a luta feminista que galgava legitimação e reconhecimento das mulheres nos espaços de poder, inclusive da política, a ideologia patriarcal ainda influente sobre as relações humanas da sociedade e no Direito, a discriminação e preconceito existente no espaço político e por suas instituições comandadas em sua grande maioria por homens, a ineficácia da lei de cotas, bem como outras temáticas que merecem ser destacadas no presente trabalho. Para tanto, para uma correta compreensão de nossa análise, focamos nossa pesquisa nas vereadoras do município de João Pessoa e nas Deputadas do Estado da Paraíba, mediante uma abordagem de ordem qualitativa nos voltando para a captura de uma realidade que não pode ser quantificada. Os dados coletados se deram através de entrevistas com base em um roteiro de perguntas que aborda algumas questões essenciais para a apreensão de pontos relevantes sobre o tema tratado. / Male domination in several nobler sectors is something that has been perpetuating over time. As far as the transit of women in politics is concerned, there are undoubtedly innumerable reflections that can be broached. We have that the struggle of women for the spaces of power comes loaded with many challenges and obstacles that insist on placing them in the private sphere, often seen as synonymous with deprivation, while men permeate in the public sphere, intertwined with power, perks and prestige. Thinking about the insertion of women in politics reminds us of the gender inequality in human and social relations and the patriarchy still in force. In this sense, this scientific investigation aimed to examine and understand the participation of women in the space of political representation, to verify how the dynamics of the insertion of women in this space of power works, to reflect on the theme of gender, to understand male domination and its imbrications , To reflect on the feminist struggle that gauged women's legitimation and recognition in the spaces of power, including politics, patriarchal ideology still influential on human relations in society and on the Law, discrimination and prejudice in the political space and its commanded institutions In its great majority by men, the inefficacy of the quota law, as well as other themes that deserve to be highlighted in the present work. To do so, for a correct understanding of our analysis, we focused our research on councilors in the city of João Pessoa and in the Deputies of the State of Paraíba, through a qualitative approach, returning us to capture a reality that can not be quantified. The data collected were given through interviews based on a questionnaire that addresses some essential issues for the apprehension of relevant points on the subject treated.

Magister Philosophiae - MPhil / In this study, I examine how women Parliamentarians understand their political influence within the South African Parliament and what environmental factors contribute to this understanding. Currently, South Africa is a global leader for the amount of women in Parliament and has been since the 1994 democratic transition. This study examines the formal and informal factors that South African women parliamentarians discuss as helping and hindering their political effectiveness.Aside from the work of Hassim (2003) and Pandor (1999), little academic research explores the experiences of women within South Africa’s Parliament. Considering this lack of research regarding women’s experiences within government, I selected a research method that would allow an open space for communication: semi-structured interviews with a qualitative feminist analysis. This study explores the opportunities and obstacles that the women perceived as affecting their political influence.The participant’s responses indicate that they perceive a high level of political influence, with some reservations. Four themes emerged as the leading environmental factors in contributing to the participant’s political efficacy: the 1994 democratic transition, the Parliament structure (formal and informal), the political party, and the role of gender.The informal structures of Parliament, such as socializing spaces, and gender stereotypes, such as the responsibility of women Parliamentarians for ‘women’s issues’, were discussed as the primary obstacles that hinder the women Parliamentarian’political influence.The participants felt that the attitudes of political parties regarding women’s role in Parliament was critical in facilitating their influence on the political agenda. The women Parliamentarians credited primarily the African National Congress (ANC) political party for framing and developing an atmosphere that mandated women’s strong participation in government and their positive perceptions of political influence. / South Africa

Female intervention in government happened from time to time in Chinese history. The women involved were usually either ambitious individuals who made use of favourable opportunities to seize political power or daughters of powerful families whose marriages into the Imperial House were arranged in order to insure the power of their male relatives. In tracing the background of these women, we find that the former type often came from a non-Chinese or lower-class family while the latter type were usually Chinese and invariably had an aristocratic background. Although coming from different backgrounds these ladies shared the common characteristic that they were contented with the position they had as Empress or Empress Dowager. The further ambition of themselves ascending to the throne never occurred to them. The cases of female intervention during the Tang period were rather different from the above stereotypes. They were a succession of ambitious female members of the Imperial family who tried to follow in the footsteps of Empress Wu in order to rule the country both in name and in fact. Though none of them did succeed, their ambition and struggle was one of the major factors that influenced the political history of the first half of the eighth century. / Arts, Faculty of / Asian Studies, Department of / Graduate

I evaluate the ways in which newspaper articles constructed the gendered cultural and personal narratives of a woman Presidential and a woman Vice-Presidential candidate during the 2008 Presidential Election season. Drawing upon West and Zimmerman's "Doing Gender" (1987) that explains gender is performed constantly throughout life, I assess the stories told about each candidate and the way she performed gender. There are two different types of stories created. The first is a personal narrative which tells the story of each individual candidate, Hillary Clinton and Sarah Palin. The second is a cultural narrative which tells the story of a dis-embodied type of person, a woman candidate in this instance. For this study, I use 80 articles from the New York Times to evaluate the two personal narrative identities constructed about two very different female-bodied politicians, Hillary Clinton and Sarah Palin, and the cultural narrative about a woman politician during the 2008 Presidential campaign cycle. Each candidate performed femininity and masculinity, although in ways very different from one another. They were both constructed by the media in very different ways as well. Drawing upon their identities as mothers, spouses, fighters, and politicians, these women (and the media) constructed two different images of what a woman Presidential and Vice Presidential candidate is understood to represent. Clinton and Palin had very different physical presentations and mannerisms which contributed to each being a very different type of woman candidate. Hillary Clinton's personal narrative told the story of a second wave feminist candidate while Sarah Palin's personal narrative told the story of a post- feminist candidate. The candidates (and media) told a story about very different types of a woman candidate.

This study explores the political messages framed within the cover of Vogue magazines by reviewing the published issues that surround election season. By focusing on the intersection of politics and fashion through the visual representation provided by a prestigious, globally known fashion magazine, the research will observe the potential increase and growth of political involvement within influence of the fashion industry. This study will begin with the October, November, and December covers from the 2016 and 2020 presidential election. These will be accompanied by the January, February, and March covers of the following years. Guided by semiotic analysis and visual rhetoric theories, this study will focus on developing this upcoming avenue of research by exploring how fashion is utilizing its power to bring attention to current events within a political atmosphere. While typically seen as feminine, Vogue magazine has been able to tap into a variety of audiences including previously politically charged groups such as feminists. As such, this research will allow for new insight regarding the overarching effects of visual media as seen through magazines, as well as their potential impact with targeted audiences.
