Feminist Content Analysis
Feminist content analysis is a method for systematically examining texts, media, and documents to reveal how gender is represented, constructed, and reproduced, interpreting those patterns through feminist theory and an explicit concern with power. It adapts the established techniques of content analysis — corpus definition, coding, and counting — but reorients them toward questions of how women, men, and gender relations are portrayed, whose voices are centered or silenced, and how representations sustain or contest gender inequality.
