Abstract
This study critically exposes gendered diplomacy roles as representations that limit the performance options of first ladies. When traveling abroad, for example, presidents' wives rarely call attention to or address world affairs. Rather, they typically spotlight humanitarian issues, bolster a president's image or extend goodwill. This investigation, therefore, positions gendered diplomacy roles as objectified representations that suppress the agentic conduct and voice of first ladies. We conclude by proposing correctives in keeping with issues of equity, empowerment, and the ideals of feminism.
