This paper critically analyses how postfeminist discourse plays out in media constructions of politician New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern becoming a mother while in office. Data for this project include Ardern's public announcements of her pregnancy, her daughter's birth, and responses to questions regarding being a working mother. Alongside Ardern's framing of becoming a working mother, we also analyze how mainstream media reported on and sought meaning around her story. We are guided by the questions: How do different feminisms materialize in Ardern's case and how do they help us make sense of working and mothering in postfeminist times? Our analysis contributes to gender and organizational literature by teasing out the tensions and possibilities that emerge for a feminist politics of mothering and working.

政治是个人的：后女权主义与理想职业母亲的构建

本文批判性地分析了后女权主义话语如何在政治家新西兰总理杰辛达·阿登 (Jacinda Ardern) 在任期间成为母亲的媒体建构中发挥作用。该项目的数据包括 Ardern 公开宣布她怀孕、女儿出生以及对有关成为职业母亲的问题的回答。除了 Ardern 对成为职业母亲的构想之外，我们还分析了主流媒体如何报道她的故事并寻找她的故事的意义。我们受到以下问题的指导：在 Ardern 的案例中，不同的女权主义如何具体化，以及它们如何帮助我们理解后女权时代的工作和母爱？我们的分析梳理了母性和工作的女权主义政治中出现的紧张局势和可能性，从而为性别和组织文学做出了贡献。
