Fictionalizing Others: Gender, Anxiety, Power, Expectations, and Norms

• In Event: Crisis of Care: Gender, Generational Anxiety, and Super Nannies

Brief Overview

We frame our discussion of women and power within theories of western feminism, neoliberalism, and literature about women in elected office. Within these frameworks, we are exploring how we see women in power, especially when it is imagined onscreen.
