Andriadi Andriadi, Muthia Rahmi

Abstract


This study aims to describe gender inequality in the novel Memoirs of aWomane Doctor by Nawal El-Saadawi; and the ideology of women's resistance to achieve gender equality amidst a strong patriarchal culture. The results of the study show that the novel Memoirs of a Woman Doctor by Nawal el-Saadawi shows gender inequality which is very detrimental to women's lives, among which women are treated differently in their own families, educated to be able to do domestic work, restrictions on women's freedom, the differentiating roles between men and women in the public, and men's efforts to dominate women. The form of resistance carried out by the main character in the novel Memoirs of a Doctor against these inequalities is by having the courage to oppose the restraints on women that shackles their progress, trying to get out of domestic activities by taking education to a higher level, fighting all form of discrimination, improve self-quality, and raise awareness that men and women have the same role in the public.
