Transnational Feminist Rhetorics and Gendered Leadership in Global Politics : From Daughters of Destiny to Iron Ladies

Transnational Feminist Rhetorics and Gendered Leadership in Global Politics examines the rhetorical performances of women who hold or have held the highest office of a nation-state. This project analyzes how political women rhetorically perform—discursively, visually, and physically—their positions of power and how these performances are read, time again, against and with other women who have held similar positions in different geopolitical locations.
