Women in Populist Rhetoric

At a time of increasing right-wing populism, Women in Populist Rhetoric examines the relationship between populist rhetoric and the real social changes that affect women and how populists gain prominence through the support they receive. Covering a broad spectrum of right-wing group activity in Western, Central and Eastern Europe - including Hungary, France, and Czechia - this volume takes an important look at the phenomena at the level of leadership and the practice of its operation. The book is divided into four parts: the first describes the phenomenon of right-wing populism, the second examines language as a tool of populist influence, and the third and fourth analyse the narratives of populist parties towards women across different European countries. An important text for the present moment, Women in Populist Rhetoric is an invaluable text for students of politics, sociology, and gender studies.
