Abstract

The research aimed at not only acquiring comprehensive data on the profiles of female ulema in Jakarta province but also obtaining data on response of female ulema towards the issue of gender representation as one of the contemporary issues in Indonesia. This was done because there were few studies that focused on such theme in the reform era. As a case study, the research made use of journal articles and other documents as the primary data supported with the data obtained from the interview three renowned figures of women’s ulema namely Faizah Ali Syibromalisi, Rahmawati, and Asih Zaini. They were choosen as the representation of women’s ulema in Jakarta province because they played significant role in struggling against woman discrimination. The revealed that women ulema hold an important, strategic and significant role in the process of society development which was not gender biased. The equality between women and men assured the changes towards a just social society which was not contrary to the teachings of Islam as the foundation of the da'wa, especially in the capacity of bolstering their position as ulema by strengthening the Islam propagation, and avoiding pragmatic political practices.
