“…These hypotheses emanate from earlier ndings and analyses that suggest that as rst ladies surpass the typical boundaries of their roles, they may meet with some resistance from the media and the public (Benze, 1990;Marshall, 1996;Brown, 1997;Gardetto, 1997;Bystrom et al, 1999;Franklin, 2000;Scharrer and Bissell, 2000). The second and third hypotheses re ect the idea that the Senate race is one example of a high-pro le, politically active story.…”

“…Gardetto (1997) analyzed pre-election 394 ERICA SCHARRER press coverage of Clinton in 1992 and discovered that she was framed as a "new woman" struggling with a public versus private role and operating both for and against a "social imaginary" notion of family. Brown (1997) suggests that Clinton received negative coverage because she does not t neatly into simpli ed media routines regarding the roles of rst ladies.…”

The search for human creation story is very interesting to discuss if it is viewed with a different perspective from mainstream story. The story of human creation is commonly called the story of Adam and Eve. Often, the story we hear is implicated in the marginalization of woman through Eve because she was created from Adam’s ribs, and she was the cause of Adam’s sin by eating fruit which was forbidden by God. The story is confirmed in the Bible so that it can give rise to biased interpretations. This study will offer another perspective in reading the stories of Adam and Eve written in the scriptures from Genesis 2 and 3. The postmodern feminist theory will be employed in rereading the figure of Eve in the Bible. The idea of this theory is that Liyan as a way to exist. Hence, the figure of Eve is attributed to the figure of Liyan who has the ability to exist. Analysis of this Eve figure will be focused on Julia Kristeva’s view of the abject concept. Eventually, the concept of abject and Liyan stated in the postmodern feminist converged on the view that exclusion or non-existence is not entirely oppression which lead to the weakness figure. This is very closely related to the figure of Eve in the Bible so that the attribution in this study will lead to how Eve is seen as an existing abject. The result of this study reveals that Eve cannot be seen simply by focusing on her weaknesses by failing to maintain a commitment not to violate God’s rules. Yet, her negligence becomes an opening for knowledge. Eve’s negligence has manifested the world we currently live in as well. Holy books should be read with a variety of more egalitarian and unbiased perspectives so that gender justice can be realized without the pretext of religion as a barrier.

“…The media has constructed a certain image of Hillary for consumers, especially when it comes to her power. Brown (1997) looks at the representation of Hillary Clinton in the media during the time she was First Lady. Brown explains that women are just shown in public as a sign for something, but are not allowed to be public speakers, "[…] women function as sources of meaning, carrying rather than creating meaning.…”

This study analyzed New York Times coverage in January 2008 and January 2016 of Hillary Clinton. Coverage of Hillary during these two months was compared based on the number of times the categories family and appearance were mentioned. In four of the subcategories, the results show that fewer stories mentioned aspects of Hillary's family and appearance in 2016 than in 2008. These findings support the hypotheses and indicate a change in the way media is discussing female politicians, along with the country's support of them.
