The emergence of a global far right has been seen as a significant development in recent years and as a challenge to wider forms of neo-liberal globalization. While much has been written about its significance and representation, little has been written on either the gendered nature of the far right and the role that women have played as actors within it. Though there still remains a gender gap in terms of the support and participation of the far right, there has been an increasing rise of leaders and figureheads within the respective movements themselves. This article argues that despite the emergence of these women, the far right looks to construct an extreme form of masculinity in which anti-feminism appears as a significant part of its overall strategy. By engaging with both the Gramscian understandings of hegemonic construction and subsequent notions of masculinist hegemony, it argues that the appearance of women both as leaders and ‘organic intellectuals’ within respective national movements allows them to gain greater legitimacy. Rather than ‘feminizing’ or indeed moderating the form of far-right narratives, women had looked to re-inforce such extreme masculinity by adding to existing understandings of anti-immigration, nationalism and in particular of the meaning of ‘anti-feminism’. Thus, recent leaders of far-right political parties appear alongside media columnists and ‘celebrities’ in contributing to the construction of extreme masculinity with the far right.

重申霸权男子气概：极右翼的女性领导

全球极右翼的出现被视为近年来的重大发展，并且是对更广泛形式的新自由主义全球化的挑战。尽管有关其意义和代表性的论述很多，但关于极右派的性别性质和妇女在其中扮演的角色所起的作用却很少。尽管在极右翼的支持和参与方面仍然存在性别差距，但在各个运动本身中，领导人和有头脑的人在增加。本文认为，尽管出现了这些女性，但极右派似乎在建构一种极端的男性气质，在这种女性气质中，反女权主义已成为其整体策略的重要组成部分。通过与葛兰西对霸权建设的理解以及后来的男子气概霸权的观念相结合，它认为妇女在各自的民族运动中既是领导者又是“有机知识分子”，这使她们获得了更大的合法性。妇女们并没有“女性化”或确实削弱极右叙事的形式，而是希望通过增加对反移民，民族主义，特别是“反女权主义”含义的现有理解，来强化这种极端的男性气质。因此，极右翼政党的新领导人与媒体专栏作家和“名人”一起为极右翼极端男子气概的建设做出了贡献。它认为，妇女在各自的民族运动中既是领导者又是“有机知识分子”，这使她们获得了更大的合法性。妇女们并没有“女性化”或确实削弱极右叙事的形式，而是希望通过增加对反移民，民族主义，特别是“反女权主义”含义的现有理解，来强化这种极端的男性气质。因此，极右翼政党的新领导人与媒体专栏作家和“名人”一起为极右翼极端男子气概的建设做出了贡献。它认为，妇女在各自的民族运动中既是领导者又是“有机知识分子”，这使她们获得了更大的合法性。妇女们并没有“女性化”或确实削弱极右叙事的形式，而是希望通过增加对反移民，民族主义，特别是“反女权主义”含义的现有理解，来强化这种极端的男性气质。因此，极右翼政党的新领导人与媒体专栏作家和“名人”一起为极右翼极端男子气概的建设做出了贡献。民族主义，特别是“反女权主义”的含义。因此，极右翼政党的最近领导人与媒体专栏作家和“名人”一起为极右翼极端男子气概的建设做出了贡献。民族主义，特别是“反女权主义”的含义。因此，极右翼政党的新领导人与媒体专栏作家和“名人”一起为极右翼极端男子气概的建设做出了贡献。
