Commander in Chief is the first prime-time television drama to have a protagonist and an entire plot dedicated to a female U.S. president. Through a transversal discourse analysis, we explain how the series is a feminist artifact that valuably contributes to contemporary discourses of gender—but also of race. First, the study unpacks the show’s publicity that exaggerates essentialist views of White femininity. Second, the study considers ways that Commander in Chief offers protean but insufficiently intersectional representations. Third, the study examines how President Allen provides a third-wave feminist account of women.

黄金时段电视首位白人女性美国总统：女性主义媒体神器的性别和种族话语

《总司令》是第一部有主角和完整情节的黄金时段电视剧，专门针对一位美国女总统。通过横向话语分析，我们解释了该系列如何成为对当代性别话语以及种族话语做出宝贵贡献的女权主义产物。首先，该研究揭示了该节目夸大白人女性气质本质主义观点的宣传。其次，该研究考虑了总司令提供多变但不够交叉的表示方式。第三，该研究考察了艾伦总统如何提供第三波女权主义女性描述。
