Misogyny in the Novel “Perempuan yang Menangis kepada Bulan Hitam”by Dian Purnomo

Abstract

In the feminist perspective, women and men have equality in all
fields. Misogyny is an inappropriate attitude in the feminist
discourse. The current study was carried out to discover the
misogynistic practices experienced by the female characters in the
novel Perempuan yang Menangis kepada Bulan Hitam By Dian
Purnomo (2020). This study employed a qualitative method. The
collected data employed by words, phrases, clauses, sentences, and
expressions contained in the novel where the data were organized
and sorted into patterns, categories, and descriptive units. The
obtained data were analyzed based on several dimensions such as
domestic and social, both verbally and non-verbally. The results of
the study imply that misogyny practices are detrimental to women
as individuals.
