Abstract:
|
News coverage of the 2004 presidential election was replete with references to masculinity. Yet, gender transformation occurs continually and this research assumes that presidential duties are becoming easier for women access, in part due to changes in framing. Drawing upon Koenig’s classic rendition of seven chief functions of a president, I set gender expectations for each function and examine those expectations by focusing on the word “tough” in news coverage of the 2004 election and in coverage of “woman” and presidency” from 1983-2005. Through content analysis of these articles, I examine both the functions and a reconfigured “four presidencies” for gendering. I find gender transformations underway in presidential functions, with head of state and executive functions poised to transgender, moral values already available, and commander-in-chief remaining most masculinized. A woman seems fully credible for the “domestic presidency,” and more positive signs exist for a “foreign presidency” than expected. |
