KESENJANGAN GENDER DALAM BUKU HABIS GELAP TERBITLAH TERANG KARYA ARMIJN PANE

Abstract

The book Habis Gelap Terbitlah Terang by Armijn Pane, it tells about the life history of Raden Ajeng Kartini. Indonesian heroines who fight for equality in life, health, education, and the future of women. Based on Abraham Maslow's theoretical approach to the need for self-esteem that views people's lives as related to position, power, wealth, and achievement. In those days, women were treated the same as slaves and animals. There is no honor and self-esteem that protects women. This cannot be allowed to continue, because it will become a bad culture that is passed down to the future of Indonesia. Raden Ajeng Kartini's opposition to the difference in the treatment of men and women, of course, cannot be accepted easily. Especially with the treatment gap between indigenous children, priyayi children, and Dutch children. This is a serious problem that indirectly still often occurs today, when the era has become modern with technology that has developed rapidly. There is still a lot of oppression committed on women, whether because of self-ignorance, whether it is carried out between fellow women, or because of social strata.
