- Title
Women's Discourse and Political Communication: A Case Study of Congressperson Patricia Schroeder.
- Authors
Sullivan, Patricia A.
- Abstract
This essay argues that Congreasperson Patricia Schroeder's political discourse reflects a gendered approach to decision making that manifests prototypic characteristics of women's culture. Feminist concepts provide a framework for understanding Schroeder's voice on the political stage in that Schroeder's discourse emphasizes cooperation, context, and personal experience in making decisions. Finally, this essay proposes that Schroeder's voice-as reflective of women's culture-provides direction for vital transformations in political decision making.
