The Whisperer Witch, or the Beauty Myth in the World of Politics
Journal Title: Papers of Social Pedagogy - Year 2018, Vol 10, Issue 3
Abstract
The article presents the results of a research project on the perception of women in politics and the role of beauty as a factor determining how female politicians are evaluated. It was inspired by Naomi Wolf’s The Beauty Myth. The object of analysis were Internet comments written in response to articles describing the activities of selected women. Almost thirty years after the publication of the above-mentioned book, it appears that women are still being judged on the basis of their appearance and not their competence.<br/><br/>
