Abstract

This research is motivated by the injustice of the position of women authors in the world of literature. Female authors are often not taken into account in the sense that they are not given equal opportunities with male authors. In addition, women's lives are still considered as complementary to men, as can be seen in literary works that dominate women's problems which are expressed and are always hurt in plays. This makes this research examine the inequality between male authors and female authors in the frame of cultural literacy. This study uses an ethnographic approach, namely research that examines the phenomenon of women at the level of literature and authorship. The process of collecting and extracting data in this study, researchers used several complementary methods, namely qualitative observation, qualitative interviews, and documents. The data collection technique was carried out by using a triangulation (combined) model, data reduction, data display, and concluding. This study finds that the injustice of female authors is actually influenced by the heterogeneity of female authors in the creation of literary works, not because of the natural factor of women as the second class. The prose of Calon Arang's lyrics includes prose that tells of women being oppressed not because of men, but because of a mother's fear of her child being mistreated.
