摘要

坚定领导的政治女性被批评为无情。玛格丽特·撒切尔(Margaret Thatcher)就是这种刻板印象的代表，她的绰号“铁娘子”(Iron Lady)最为简洁。我们认为，电影《铁娘子》和Netflix电视剧《王冠》提供了撒切尔的不同版本，批评了撒切尔在女性气质方面的所谓失败。这些文章并没有把对撒切尔的评价集中在她政策的危害上，而是严厉批评她的育儿方式和她不恰当的男性化风格。最后，我们提出了一个问题，我们如何才能在不诉诸性别歧视的情况下，以对政策进行批判性分析的方式记住公众人物。

Mediating Maggie: Margaret Thatcher, leadership, and gender in The Iron Lady and The Crown

ABSTRACT Political women who lead with firmness get castigated as heartless. Margaret Thatcher represents that stereotype, most concisely captured in the sobriquet “Iron Lady.” We argue that the film The Iron Lady and the Netflix series The Crown offer versions of Thatcher that critique Thatcher’s supposed failures of femininity. Rather than centering their framing of Thatcher on the harms of her policies, these texts excoriate her for her parenting and her inappropriately masculine style. We conclude by asking how we might remember public figures in ways that offer critical analyses of policies without resorting to sexist tropes.
