Status Of Women

Abstract: This paper examines the interaction between women's groups and the media between 1980 and 1995. In particular, this analysis documents the relationship between the Canadian Advisory Council on the Status of Women, the National Action Committee on the Status of Women, and REAL Women of Canada and newspaper and magazine journalists. Using extensive examples from major Canadian daily newspapers and magazines and drawing on individual interviews with group leaders on whom the media focused, this study demonstrates how journalists stressed the personal, private details about the women leaders of the more feminist groups in an effort to contain the role of women in the public sphere. Résumé: Cet article examine l'interaction entre les groupes de femmes et les médias de 1980 à 1995. En particulier, cette analyse documente la relation entre d'une part le Canadian Advisory Council on the Status of Women ("Le Conseil consultatif canadien sur la condition de la femme"), le National Action Committee on the Status of Women ("Le Comité d'action national sur la condition de la femme") et REAL Women of Canada ("Femmes "réelles'' du Canada") et d'autre part les reporters de journaux et revues. Utilisant des exemples détaillés provenant de revues et de quotidiens importants au Canada et se fondant sur des entrevues particulières avec des dirigeantes de groupes sur lesquels les médias ont porté leur attention, cette étude montre comment les journalistes ont mis l'accent sur les détails privés et personnels ayant trait aux dirigeantes des groupes plus féministes afin de restreindre le rôle des femmes dans la sphère publique.
