The aim of this article is to reclassify Setswana short stories according to their treatment of female characters. Critics such as Ranamane have classified Setswana literary works according to year of publication, without giving any valid reasons for this type of classification. This article, focusing on the development of the characterisation of women in Setswana short stories, classifies stories based on three periods, namely the phase of womanism, the experimental phase and the phase of feminism. In the phase of womanism, the outstanding features of characterisation of females include oppression and illtreatment, discrimination and segregation, ignorance, physical violence against females and limitation of the role of women to caring for the extended family. In the experimental phase, features include liberation of a female character, freedom of the whole society, agreement on marriage and working together as a team to solve the problems of society. The phase of feminism is identified by features of characterisation of females such as eradication of oppression, the fight for equality between women and men, removal of segregation and discrimination and also change across the whole of society.

The dialogue between image and text in Riana Scheepers's Dulle Griet This article examines the way in which the content and theme of Riana Scheepers’s Dulle Griet (1991) interact with the “manneplot” (traditional and/or stereotypical portrayal of female characters within novels) and with the cover illustration of the book – a detail of “Mad Meg” (as she is often referred to) from Pieter Brueghel’s Dulle Griet (1562). It explores how the women in Scheepers’s short stories are portrayed – not only as vulnerable, but also as evil and corrupt. They are abused victims; but they are also tyrannical abusers. They are innocent maidens and mothers, but also lovers, prostitutes, lesbians and murderers. The way in which the gradual degeneration of the anonymous central female character relates to Brueghel’s image of “Mad Meg” on her way to the jaws of hell is discussed in this article. But the article also demontrates Scheepers’s concern with feminist issues by using the cover as an ironic “frame”, and shows that the moral decline of the women portrayed in the text seems to be as a result of the actions of chauvinistic men, who appear in different forms throughout the text. Female degeneracy can thus be seen as a survival mechanism, in a world – and a text – dominated by the masculine paradigm, the “manneplot” of traditional male attitudes to women.

<p>Eka Kurniawan's Corat-coret di Toilet short stories compilation book contains twelve short stories that tell about light stories everyday but full of social criticism. Some of the short stories that portrayed female characters presented women who were not free in their lives, one of which was titled Dongeng Sebelum Bercinta and Si Cantik yang Tak Boleh Keluar Malam. Therefore, this study aims to analyze the position of women and their resistance toward patriarchal domination. This is interesting to be studied further by using feminist theory to find the position of women in literary works written by male writers. This research will focus on the actions of female characters which shape their position in the story. The data used in this study are in the form of words, sentences or expressions from short stories that show the dominance of patriarchy towards women and their efforts to get out of domination. From research using feminist theory it was found that patriarchal domination arises in the closest male characters to female characters such as fathers, male friends and husbands. Women resistance in the story was a form of false resistance which in turn strengthened the dominance of patriarchy and the dichotomy between men and women. This was found based on the fact that every resistance made by women turned to weaken women themselves.</p><p> <em> </em></p>

The results showed that the main female characters; Noor, Miriam and Rubiya can survive in the dominant patriarchal culture with the dignity to resist in the patriarchal culture. These three stories successfully covered four prescriptive criteria by Register and can be classified as feminist stories.

Abstrak: Tulisan ini menampilkan posisi tokoh perempuan pada tiga cerpen karya pengarang Kalimantan Timur pada tahun 1980-an. Ketiga cerpen tersebut berjudul ”Perkawinan”, ”Buah Hati”, dan ”Luka Cinta” . Pada cerpen-cerpen tersebut posisi perempuan berada di tengah-tengah budaya patriarki. Kondisi itu menyebabkan perempuan mengadakan perlawanan dengan pola berbeda-beda. Perlawanan perempuan menimbulkan konflik identitas pada perempuan. Dengan teori feminisme, penelitian ini menganalisis sebab dan akibat tokoh perempuan mengalami konflik identitas.  Bentuk-bentuk konflik identitas yang dialami tokoh perempuan juga akan dianalisis. Relasi tokoh perempuan dengan tokoh-tokoh lain dengan demikian juga akan dianalisis lebih lanjut. Tokoh-tokoh tersebut meliputi tokoh-tokoh yang menjadi ikon patriarki dan tokoh-tokoh yang mendukung tokoh perempuan untuk melakukan perlawanan.  Analisis menunjukkan konflik identitas yang terjadi pada perempuan disebabkan patriarki yang secara terus menerus melakukan upaya agar perempuan merasa melakukan kesalahan apabila perlawanan tersebut berhasil. Analisis juga menunjukkan kondisi tersebut disebabkan pula oleh tidak kuatnya pertahanan perempuan untuk memilih identitasnya. Cerpen-cerpen Kalimantan Timur tahun 1980-an menunjukkan pergulatan perempuan dalam memilih identitasnya. Kata kunci: perempuan, identitas, patriarki Abstract:This paper presents the position of female characters in three East Kalimantan short stories   in the 1980s. The three short stories are "Marriage", "Baby", and "Luka Cinta". In these short stories, women are in patriarchal culture. This condition makes women deal with their condition differently. Women’s resistance creates identity conflicts. Using the theory of feminism, this study analyzes the the forms, causes, and effects of the conflicts and also  the connection between female character and the others, including patriarchal icons and others who support women to fight back. The analysis shows that identity conflicts are caused by patriarchy that continuously make women feel wrong if their struggle is successful and also caused by women's lack of strength in their struggling to choose their identity. East Kalimantan short stories in 1980s show women’s struggle in choosing their identity. Keywords: women, identity, patriarchy
