The study clarifies the significance of impartial and fair coverage of female leaders in the media by using a feminist stylistics approach. This can help to promote gender equality in society and destroy gender stereotypes.

The results show that cultural norms and Sri Mulyani's standing both domestically and globally have an impact on how the Indonesian Minister of Finance is portrayed on foreign and domestic news websites. These factors produce discrete but diverse outcomes. The study finds that the minister is treated properly and without overt gender prejudice by utilizing the feminist stylistics theory framework's three levels of analysis.
