Normalizacja populizmu poprzez kobiecość na przykładzie Marine Le Pen, Giorgii Meloni i Alice Weidel
Normalising populism through femininity: the cases of Marine Le Pen, Giorgia Meloni, and Alice Weidel

Summary/Abstract: The article presents the analysis of the role of female leaders of right-wing populist movements in Western Europe as instruments for legitimising anti-liberal political narratives. The aim of the study is to demonstrate how femininity serves to normalise populism in public discourse. A qualitative comparative case study (Marine Le Pen, Giorgia Meloni, Alice Weidel) combined with content and political discourse analysis was employed in this research. The findings indicate that femininity performs a legitimising rather than emancipatory function, enabling the transfer of radical right-wing ideas into the language of the political mainstream.
