Women leadership is not leading to male like characteristics in the females. The women are no more wrapped in their conventional roles of faithfulness, loyalty, love, care and sacrifice.
Thank you for your respond. Can you give further explanation about " The women are no more wrapped in their conventional roles of faithfulness, loyalty, love, care and sacrifice" ?
REMAKING IDENTITY, UNMAKING NATION: HISTORICAL RECOVERY AND THE RECONSTRUCTION OF COMMUNITY IN IN THE TIME OF THE BUTTERFLIES AND THE FARMING OF BONES
by Lynn Chun Ink
No nation in the world gives women and men the same access to the rights and resources of the nation-state . Conflicts inevitably arise when romance collides with revolution, to reinstate leadership in patriarchal society that denies both genders this same access - Involvement in the socialists struggle demands their break from conventional gendered roles and the emasculation of patriarchal figures and defy the wishes of their husbands, who believe that their “first responsibility” is to their children, husbands, and homes, finds themselves placed confronting and challenging towards a leadership role.
I do not agree with Lynn Chun Ink position, but modestly suggest to read Critical Theories and analysis regarding anti-capitalism and domination. Also examine Intersectional approaches and women's studies, may be Wendy Brown.
Concrete cases of women's leadership and involvement are found .
I agree, I think Lynn Chun Ink is assuming that men are emasculated when women are emancipated or that they have nothing to gain from equality at work so I have to disagree also.
In Australia there has been quite a bit of work on women in leadership. I'd suggest to start here if you are interested in Australian perspectives on women in leadership: http://www.workandfamilypolicyroundtable.org/
The women and men on this roundtable are Australia's foremost researchers in this field so I think you'll find more than you need there (at least from AU in any case)! Leslie S. Stratton of Virginia Commonwealth University, USA has recently published a paper on women and work, but with a focus on determinants of housework.
I don't know whether this meets your inquiry regarding the method of Critical Discourse Analysis but maybe this handbook holds some useful information for you (especially Part III Women's Leadership in Social Movements):
O'Connor, K. (Ed.). (2010). Gender and women's leadership: A reference handbook. (Vols. 1-2). Thousand Oaks, CA: SAGE Publications, Inc. doi: http://dx.doi.org/10.4135/9781412979344
Thank you all, it will expand my knowledge toward women, social movement, and critical discourse analysis.
Brief introduction to my research: I am observing social movement based on environmental issue against cement's company, The constructions of cement's factory is located in Kendeng Mountain, Central Java, Indonesia, which threatening livelihood of local peasant. In order to minimalized violent act between men's peasant and police officers, they used women's peasant to stand in front line. Also, the icon of the movement is called Ibu (Mother) Sukinah. I am interested to analyze the potrayal of women's peasant from their internal movement's point of view and mass media (such as newspaper, television).
Made you may want to look at papers related to women's leadership and collective action published by the Developmental Leadership Program (www.dlprog.org).
