In my analysis I identify five main ways that Swedish media frame the women returning from ISIS: ‘the state's responsibility’, ‘self accountability’, ‘the security threat’, ‘equal treatment’ and ‘housewife of the caliphate’. The articles frame the women in various ways by making different aspects of the women and their situation more salient. In the frames I also identify aspects of Gentry and Sjobergs theory of the narratives surrounding violent women (2007). The essay concludes that the way Swedish media frame the women returning from ISIS contains stereotypical and gendernormative descriptions of women. (Less)
