Abstract
This article adopts a Foucauldian discourse approach to analyse the media representation of women politicians. It examines the media focus on women's bodies which serves to position the women as different, as gendered. The women's use of public relations techniques to attempt to resist the restricted discursive positioning creates a discursive struggle for control of the subject 'woman politician'. Attention is drawn to the maintenance of mediated political discourse as a male domain.
