“…Les politologues se sont notamment intéressés aux représentations médiatiques des discours de femmes chefs de parti, qui peinent à être respectées au même titre que leurs homologues masculins (TREMBLAY & BÉLANGER 1997 ;TRIMBLE, TREIBERG & GIRARD 2010). Plus globalement, les discours médiatiques au sujet des femmes s'exprimant publiquement ont fait l'objet de plusieurs études (FREEMAN 2001, LAPLANCHE 2016, TRIMBLE 2007, s'entendant souvent sur le fait que les femmes et les hommes jouissent d'un traitement différencié, les premières étant plus susceptibles d'être victimes d'analyses et de discours reproduisant des stéréotypes fondés sur le sexe.…”

Cet article s'intéresse à la trajectoire de quatre auteures qui ont commenté la scène politique canadienne dans les années 1960 : Solange Chaput-Rolland, Marie-Blanche Fontaine, Gwethalyn Graham et Gertrude Laing. À travers l'analyse d'un corpus littéraire formé de quatre de leurs ouvrages, il souhaite restituer leurs conceptions du Canada à une époque où les possibilités de refondation constitutionnelle semblaient prometteuses. L'univers du commentaire politique étant majoritairement masculin, leur entrée dans ce milieu ne se fera pas sans heurts. L'étude des obstacles rencontrés par ces femmes et de leurs stratégies pour les surmonter permet en partie d'expliquer pourquoi certains discours sont confinés aux marges de l'espace public. This article's primary focus is the professional trajectories of four female writers who critiqued Canadian politics during the 1960's: Solange Chaput-Rolland, Marie-Blanche Fontaine, Gwethalyn Graham and Gertrude Laing. Through a comprehensive analysis of four of their books, we wish to revitalize their conceptions of Canada during a time where the possibility of profound constitutional change seemed to be promising. During this period, political commentary was dominated by the masculine sex; therefore, these four women were confronted with several obstacles. An analysis of these obstacles and the strategies employed to surmount them, allows us to partially explain why several of their writings are not as well known. 2 Parmi les travaux consacrés aux épouses et filles des Pères de la Confédération, notons ceux de Robin Sutherland sur Lady Agnes Macdonald (SUTHERLAND 2004). L'historienne Carmen Nielson appelle quant à elle à intégrer les études du genre à l'histoire politique pour offrir un portrait plus nuancé de la réalité. Elle prend comme exemple les Pères de la Confédération (NIELSON 2010). Le site de l'Encyclopédie canadienne consacre également une exposition aux

“…1 More generally, there is evidence that the media apply sex-specific narrative frames when covering female politicians and that female politicians are subject to harsher evaluative criteria. When Tremblay and Bélanger (1997) examined the portrayal of party leaders in political cartoons in major Canadian newspapers during the 1993 election, for example, they found that over one half of the cartoons in which the two female leaders appeared portrayed them in sex-typed ways as witches, say, or Cinderellas. Similarly, Saint-Jean (1991, 1995) report that depictions of female politicians in Canada have relied on a succession of sex-based stereotypes evolving from "spinster" to "superwoman" and "one of the boys" (see also Norris, 1997;and Ross, 1995).…”

This article explores the implications for female politicians of the gendered nature of news coverage. An analysis of the language used in television news coverage of the English-language leaders' debates in the Canadian federal elections of 1993, 1997 and 2000 confirms that the debates are framed in stereotypically masculine ways as battles, sporting events or back street brawls. When the news coverage is compared with the leaders' actual behaviour in the debates, it is clear that the coverage focuses disproportionately on combative displays of behaviour by female party leaders, but tends to ignore the women when they adopt a more low-key style, especially when the novelty of a female leader has worn off.

This entry introduces a powerful, yet understudied, form of gendered mediation: the political cartoon. Editorial cartoons are important instruments of political persuasion because of their prevalence on the editorial pages of both print and online newspapers, their reliance on gender norms and stereotypes as visual metaphors, and their capacity to express biting critiques at a glance. The extant literature shows how these texts symbolically annihilate women by omitting them from the picture altogether, or by minimizing their actions. When they do draw women, cartoonists situate them in the domestic realm or as bystanders to public life, reinforcing gender stereotypes and the public man/private woman binary. Tropes of exaggerated femininity and hegemonic masculinity seem to be the stock‐in‐trade of editorial cartoonists. Patriarchal norms and power relations are replicated in political cartoons, thereby questioning women's capacity for political leadership and trivializing their ambitions. Yet there is insufficient research, especially in the contemporary moment and in countries beyond the United States, to determine whether the increased presence of women as political activists and leaders has prompted changes in cartoonists' portrayals.
