The Struggle of Javanese Women in Patriarchal Culture in the Novel Calon Arang Pramoedya Ananta Toer's (Works: Feminist Literary Studies)

Abstract

Patriarchy is a social system that places men as the main power holders and dominates in political leadership roles, moral authority, social rights and property control. The method used in this study is descriptive qualitative. The results of the research showed the forms of patriarchal domination in the Calon Arang story which are seen from the social status and also the inferior condition of women. The conclusion that can be drawn from the Calon Arang story is that this story is based on women's issues that have arisen up to the events described, which are worthy of being studied with a feminist literary point of view.
