Abstract

Feminist literary criticism put forward in this study aims to reveal gender equality and injustice experienced by female main characters in literary works in the form of a collection of short stories written by Indonesian women. The injustice put forward by women writers who try to show the world how women experience injustice due to the arbitrary treatment by men. This of course will be different from gender injustice in short stories written by male writers. To reveal gender equality and injustice experienced by the main character in a collection of short stories from Indonesian female writers, the researcher used a qualitative descriptive method. In the study of women, researchers use to see the types and forms of “constructs” of equality and injustice that are represented and institutionalized in short stories. The use of feminism theory is based on the assumption that short stories can be seen as a source of written data to study how the domination of an act of equality and injustice as well as equality and injustice is carried out and operated through discourse. In general, it can be stated that the goal of feminist struggle is to achieve equality, dignity and freedom for women in choosing and managing their life and body, both inside and outside the household.
