Abstract

The emancipation of women and gender equality movement was the turn points for the rights possessed by women today. However, people in Indonesia in particular still has the presumption that tends to the paradox of the female body. The female body is still a taboo to talk about by society. Many are judging the female body as a beauty and yet they also have to always cover their body up. This is perceived as inconsistent with information and foreign cultural influences, especially western culture that dominate the electronic media. Coupled with feminism ideology, these paradoxes raise the questions of where is the position of the female body in the society, especially Indonesia.
