Abstract

This scientific article is about the connection between culture and women in Minang in the 1990s, illustrated in Selasih literature. The author, Sariamin Ismail, or Selasih Success, describes Minangkabau women at that time who still influenced customs and traditions but were also open to changing social and economic happenings. This article uses the method of analytical descriptive for an analysis of three of Selasih’s literary works, namely If It’s Not Profitable (1933), Influence Circumstances (1937), and Back to Father’s Lap (1986). Analysis results show that Sariamin Ismail succeeded in showing that values of Minangkabau culture are still very strong in the lives of the people, like custom marriage, matrilineal kinship, and respect towards parents. However, he also shows that Minangkabau people can adapt to changing times and maintain their customs and traditions. Besides that, girls in Minang in the 1990s were also involved in the production process, family, and their roles, which were important in guarding harmony in family and society. This article can become a source of inspiration and knowledge for Indonesians, especially for those who want to learn more about Minangkabau culture and the roles of women in society.
