Abstract

This study examines the representation of women in
the short stories Madj'u Al-Urus by Khalil Ghibran and
Qissatul Fathiyyah Al-Misriyyah by Nawal As-Sa'dawi.
The approach used in this research is descriptive
qualitative. This research is a comparative literature
study with the help of feminism theory as the analytical
knife. The results of this study are the self-image of
women from the physical aspect depicted in the short
story Fathiyyah Al-Misriyyah, a woman who has grown
up is shown to experience changes in herself, namely
biologically, namely being able to get pregnant, give
birth and breastfeed. Meanwhile, in the short story
Madj'u Al-'Urus, women are described as someone
who likes to show off their body shape. In terms of the
psychological aspect, women are weak figures, they
experience acts of violence that make them look like
crazy people. Meanwhile, Kahlil Gibran did not explain
in detail the consequences of the violence he
experienced. Based on the social aspect, women
equally get help from other people.
