The article interrogates the digital storytelling of Sweden’s feminist foreign policy. It analyses how digital platforms offer opportunities to reproduce narratives of state feminism through storytelling and argues that digital diplomacy is used to advance feminist foreign policy through emotional sense-making that requires the telling of personal stories to reach a wider digital audience. These stories however, run the risk of obscuring the feminist ambitions of feminist foreign policy.
