Gender, press and revolution: A textual analysis of three newspapers in Nicaragua's Sandinista period, 1979-1988

This dissertation is a study of the intersection of gender, the press, and revolution. As such it bridges disciplinary boundaries between women's studies and mass communications studies. From a gender perspective, this study focuses on Third World women and on the inherent tensions between socialism and feminism. From communications, this work draws on news and international issues literature and the inherent tensions between Western news models and developmental goals. This allows the author to examine how women and gender politics were presented in Nicaragua's press during the Sandinista years between 1979 and 1988.
