Abstract
The object of this study was to first identify how American female politicians are framed on social media platforms, specifically on Twitter. Then the study further investigated the general public’s perception of female political leaders and whether public perceptions are consistent with the findings on Twitter. To do this, social media analysis was performed and a survey was distributed. The study found that the female politicians were talked about negatively online but public’s perception about female political leaders was generally positive. Keywords: Twitter, social media, female, woman, politician, perception
