Summary/Abstract: The digital revolution (M. Castells 1996; U. Beck 2000; S. Proulx 2014) and the « genderquake » (E. Macé, 2015 ; Froidevaux-Metterie, 2015) are the major paradigmatic changes marking the third millenium. The building of the digital identity as continuous self-production with its corollary- “the expressivist turn” ( “le tournant expressiviste” ) demands a new gendered discourse analysis from the double perspective of the disseminated or commented content, as well as of the nature of expression (the what and the how).It becomes essential to scrutinize how women (leaders or simple citizens) are positioning themselves, are using the new democratic participatory social media and contribute to the social change.
