Inhalt: Women gained the right to vote nearly 100 years ago, but it was not until 1980 that political scholars and practitioners began paying much attention to the role of women in elections. Twelve years later it was the so-called "Year of the Woman" in 1992 that sparked increased scholarly attention on women as political communicators. A record number of women, 117, ran for the U.S. Congress in 1992, but the number of women running and serving has been slow to increases since that time. One reason may be the unique challenges gender poses for female political communicators. Over three decades of research has proven gender stereotypes and expectations play a key role in how women (and men) communicate with voters. This review of research summarizes major findings and changes in gender and political communication research over the past three decades. Our focus is on communication by candidates and how gender shapes that communication. In all, 133 scholarly sources were reviewed; these sources included scholarly journals from related disciplines as well as books using quantitative, qualitative, and rhetorical methods. Our analysis demonstrates that gender stereotypes are still prevalent in American political campaigns, and women candidates must work to overcome the belief that they are not masculine enough to be political leaders. Additionally this review reveals two common strategies candidates use to negotiate gender stereotypes: feminine style and gender adaptiveness. We conclude that more research is needed to better understand how candidates navigate gender stereotypes in the 21st century, particularly in political debates and online communication.

Inhalt: This article presents a defence of gender-based affirmative action programmes against its critiques. It starts from an overview of the history and main criticisms addressing affirmative action programmes, and then proposes several arguments against these criticisms. Several rationales are to be found at the core of this article: first, women still face discrimination in regard to access to education and employment. This position relies on the statistical data referring to both the U.S. and the E.U. Second, gender-based affirmative action should be treated differently than race-based affirmative action since women's discrimination on the labour market stems mainly from traditional gender norms largely exerted within the family and exercised through state's family policies (e.g. childcare policies). Third, despite the fact that the article defends gender-based affirmative action against the main critiques, it also argues that this measure alone is an inefficient method to tackle gender inequality. The article concludes that gender-based affirmative action programmes are not effective methods to tackle gender inequality because they address only one part of the problem, namely gender inequality encountered in the public sphere (education and employment), while completely ignoring family and caring responsibilities.

Inhalt: Fragen der Un-/Gerechtigkeit v.a. in der Erwerbssphäre sind (wieder) auf die politische Agenda gerückt. Ausgehend von der geschlechtersoziologischen Kritik an einem engen Arbeitsbegriff plädieren wir dafür, Gerechtigkeitsvorstellungen im Lebenszusammenhang zu betrachten. Wir fragen, welche Missstände aus einer Perspektive des Lebenszusammenhangs als ungerecht erfahren werden, basierend auf narrativen Interviews mit prekär Beschäftigten, die wir in einem hermeneutischen Auswertungsprozess interpretierten. Wir rekonstruieren, welche Missstände die Befragten als nicht erfüllte Gerechtigkeitsansprüche erheben und welche nur als nicht erfüllte Wünsche, wobei wir Sorgearrangements ins Zentrum stellen. Anhand dreier Fallbeispiele zeigen wir, dass nur Fürsorge normative Kraft entfalten kann, während zur Einforderung angemessener Bedingungen zur Selbstsorge meist normative Rahmen fehlen. Fürsorge ist zudem vergeschlechtlicht und aus dem Anspruch, gute Pflege zu leisten, kann selbstdestruktives Potenzial erwachsen. Gesellschaftspolitisch ist zu fragen, wie normative Rahmen für angemessene Selbstsorge und gerechte Bedingungen für selbstsorgsame Pflege von Anderen etabliert werden können.

Inhalt: Within the framework of ethnography, field access plays an essential role for the progress and success of research projects using such a methodology. Based on a gender studies project in which we analyzed the change of gender arrangements (LENZ & ADLER, 2010) within a German university, we illustrate how field access not only poses a methodological challenge but also serves as an important source of information. Contrasting two faculties we show how the issue of gender is addressed in different organizational units. The two faculties have in common that they understand the gendering of the faculty culture as a question of numbers. At the same time the topic is externalized and thereby not taken as a relevant organizational task. Finally, we link the empirical results to the theoretical discussion about the "gendered organization" (ACKER, 1990; MÜLLER, RIEGRAF & WILZ, 2013) and deduce methodological challenges for gender studies.
