Abstract

This article presents the results of a content analysis of the opinion weekly magazines -  „Wprost”, „Polityka”, Newsweek Polska” and „Do Rzeczy”. The Polish parliamentary campaign in 2015 is the period of research. The aim of the conducted analysis is to show if the Polish politician women are presented in the publications and what image of women involved in politics is promoted  by the reviewed weeklies. The collected research materials analyse through the prism of assumptions of Muted Group Theory (MGT) created by Edwin Ardener and popularized by Cheris Kramarae.
