This book analyses the public discourse of Elizabeth Dole. It
explores the way in which this trail-blazing public figure
navigated the double binds that confront women who obtain and
exercise political power. The text argues that Dole crafted a
conservative, feminine persona in which she depicted herself as a
selfless public servant. This sense of servant was defined through
Dole's appeal to the transcendent moral purposes of Christianity.
She used this image to great effect in her most noteworthy public
addresses, especially her 1996 Republican National Convention
speech in support of her husband's presidential campaign. In her
2008 unsuccessful North Carolina U.S. Senate reelection campaign
Elizabeth Dole's political style unraveled in the face of a series
of effective attacks by her opponent, Kay Hagan, and her own
desperate rhetorical appeals to stave off defeat.
This collection examines the ways in which women have used
political rhetoric and political discourse to provide leadership,
or assert their right to leadership, at the national level. While
over the years women have broken through traditional roles, they
are still underrepresented in political leadership. In this text,
scholars consider the various factors that continue to restrict
political leadership opportunities for women as well as some of the
ways in which individual women have strategically sought to enact
political power and leadership for themselves. The contributors
analyze various case studies of leadership positions at the
national level, looking at women who have run, been nominated to
run, or appointed to national positions. The interdisciplinary
approach lends itself to: rhetoric; political rhetoric; political
discourse; leadership studies; women's studies; gender issues;
satire; pop culture.
