WOMEN’S RESISTANCE TO EDUCATIONAL INJUSTICE IN MODERN INDONESIAN LITERARY TEXTS
Downloads
This study discusses the representation of women’s resistance against educational injustice in modern Indonesian literary texts. The main focus is on how female characters in literary works struggle to gain the right to education amid patriarchal cultural pressures, structural poverty, and oppressive power. Using a feminist approach and narrative analysis, this research examines several modern Indonesian literary works that portray women as agents of resistance—through symbolic struggles, concrete actions, and steadfastness in defending the right to learn. The findings show that women’s resistance to educational injustice in literary texts is not merely a form of passive resistance, but an active strategy in building self-awareness, empowering communities, and rejecting domination that restricts access to knowledge. This study reveals that literature not only records gender inequality in education, but also serves as an important space for articulating resistance and expressing hope for social change.
