| Summary: | Modern Indonesian literature can be said to be born around 1920s with the publication of modern Indonesian
literary works by Balai Pustaka. Amongst the works published by Balai Pustaka in the 1920s, there are most
popular works namely Sitti Nurbaya (1922), Azab dan Sengsara(1927) and Salah Asuhan (1928) representing
the tone of 1920s literary productions. This paper aims
to look at images of women in those three works written
by male authors, using feminist literary criticism. By
means of close reading technique, the study uses feminist
literary criticism to examineand (re)examine the images
of women portrayed in those three works. The finding shows that on one hand some women are still trapped with
the shackle of patriarchy, but on the other hand some women are not simply passive victims of patriarchy:
these women still attempt to escape from the patriarchal
chain and cut out the patriarchal oppression. |
