This article focusses on the media representation of Cristina Fernández de Kirchner as portraited in the covers of the weekly magazine Noticias during her second mandate as president of Argentina, 2011–2015. Through a feminist review of the documental evidence, this text aims to determine the most prevalent patterns in the use of master suppression techniques and gender stereotypes in the media, discussing the representation of female politicians in visual and written narratives as it usually reinforces gender stereotypes in disadvantaged ways, damaging to the public image of female candidates and representatives. The results show how five identifiable gender stereotypes (the narcissist leader or the frivolous diva; the suffering lonely widow vs. the wicked widow; the hyper-sexualized or uncontrolled woman; the mentally sick or psychically unbalanced woman; and the unbearable woman) interplay with seven not exclusive but complementary master suppression techniques (making invisible; ridicule; withhold information; double bind or double punishment; blaming and humiliating or put to shame; objectifying; and violence, force or threat of force) in this media’s rejection, underestimation and mockery of female political leadership.

Este artículo se centra en la representación mediática de Cristina Fernández de Kirchner en las portadas de la revista semanal Noticias durante su segundo mandato como presidenta de Argentina, 2011–2015. A través de una revisión feminista de la evidencia documental, este texto tiene como objetivo determinar los patrones más prevalentes en el uso de técnicas de dominación y estereotipos de género en los medios de comunicación, discutiendo la representación de mujeres políticas en narrativas visuales y escritas, ya que generalmente ésta refuerza los estereotipos de género, perjudicando la imagen pública de las candidatas y representantes femeninas. Los resultados muestran cómo cinco estereotipos de género identificables (el líder narcisista o la diva frívola; la viuda solitaria frente a la viuda malvada; la mujer hipersexualizada o descontrolada; la mujer mentalmente enferma o desequilibrada psíquicamente; y la mujer insopor­table) interactúan con siete técnicas de dominación complementarias (hacer invisible; ridiculizar; retener información; doble constreñimiento o doble castigo; culpar y humillar o avergonzar; objetivar; violencia, fuerza o amenaza de fuerza) para rechazar, subestimar o burlarse del liderazgo político femenino.
