The gendered representation of women politicians in the Greek media prior to elections: the case of Zoe Konstantopoulou

The second section of the theoretical framework refers to the underrepresentation of women in international parliaments, as well as the Greek and it describes the difficulties faced by women in their attempts to enter the political arena. The third section of the same chapter describes the gender stereotypes attributed to women and men and how they define their political profile. The fourth section deals with the gendered representation of women politicians in the media. It describes the framing modes in accordance with the gendered stereotypes. Finally, the fifth section of the theoretical framework gives a brief description of the personality of Zoe Konstantopoulou, the case-subject of this thesis.
