“How to be a W-o-m-e-n? : Women in the Contract of Powerlessness in Oka Rusmini's Poetry”
Abstract
This study aims to analyze the poem "Pandora" by Oka Rusmini from a feminist perspective, with a focus on depicting women in a condition of powerlessness. This poem explores themes related to women and their experiences in a patriarchal society. The research method used is qualitative analysis with a literary feminism approach. In the poem “Pandora”, Oka Rusmini describes women as beings who are trapped in social roles and expectations that limit their freedom and power. This poem reveals the gender injustice experienced by women, as well as the social and emotional burden they are responsible for. Oka Rusmini uses metaphorical and imaginative language to describe the condition of powerlessness experienced by women. The results of this study provide a deeper understanding of the poem "Pandora" by Oka Rusmini and contribute to the study of feminism in literature. It is hoped that this research can inspire other literary works that raise women's issues and encourage social change that is more inclusive and just.
