| Summary: | This study is conducted to reveal the issue of French women's struggle in
World War II depicted in the novel The Nightingale. Generally, the story with the
theme of historical fiction portrays men as the main character. Those who serve as
soldiers are considered important by the people because they have a purpose to
defend the country. The war conditions require someone to have physical and
mental strength, and also high intelligence in dealing with the enemy. However,
the nature of women formed by the traditional gender roles such as weak and
passive is on the contrary to the desired role, thus their participation in war is
limited only as a nun or a cook. In this research, Isabelle and Vianne decided to
fight in different ways. Isabelle joined the resistance group under the command of
Charles de Gaulle, while her older sister made a tacit resistance in her home by
rescuing half Parisian-Jewish children from an orphanage. The resistance that they
built refers to the term frontline feminism where women are in a position that is
essentially at risk and can endanger themselves. This research used feminism
approach and frontline feminism as the concept theory. According to the concept
of theory, their strategy was categorized as nonviolent action. The results of this
study indicates that the struggle which is conducted by Isabelle and Vianne strive
to achieve freedom in the middle of war by retaining their feminine side without
changing into masculine.Itbecomes the main strategy against patriarchy
nonviolent with nonviolent action. |
