Giorgia Meloni, Italy’s first woman prime minister, is the latest in a line of female nationalists occupying high-ranking political positions across Europe.\r\n\r\nLike France’s Marine Le Pen and Germany’s Alice Weidel, Meloni’s ascent has been linked to a phenomenon known as femonationalism - where feminist ideas are used to advance a nationalist agenda.\r\n\r\nOn UpFront, Marc Lamont Hill is joined by scholars, Sara Farris, who coined the term femonationalism, Mayanthi Fernando and Cynthia Miller-Idriss, for a discussion on femonationalism and why so many women engage with far-right movements when they are seemingly at odds with their own interests.\r\n\r\nSubscribe to our channel  http://bit.ly/AJSubscribe\r\nFollow us on Twitter https://twitter.com/AJEnglish\r\nFind us on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/aljazeera\r\nCheck our website:  http://www.aljazeera.com/\r\nCheck out our Instagram page: https://www.instagram.com/aljazeeraenglish/\r\n\r\n@AljazeeraEnglish\r\n#Aljazeeraenglish\r\n#News
