Abstract

This paper analyses representations of women in brazilian politics based on a large sample of brazilian daily television news and weekly news magazines. We understand that, besides the challenges taken by women to become candidates and run for public offices, they face specific difficulties to get to central positions in the political field. Gender stereotypes remain, limiting women’s political action and its visibility in the news, in a process in which one of these terms feeds back the other. In other words, the scope that is considered “proper” for women in politics is also one that weekly impels their carriers and has less visibility in political news.
