“My heart carries too many hidden tears.” (Matsumi)
“I have suffered too long and no longer weep. Time has silenced my voice.” (Lestari)
Abstract
This study analyzes Perempuan Kembang Jepun by Lan Fang, and draws on the
feminist theory of two radical feminists, Andrea Dworkin and Catharine MacKinnon
who focus on pornography issues. According to Dworkin and MacKinnon, there are
many kinds of ponography issues, such as sexual assault, sexual harrasment, rape, etc.
This study reveals issues of marital rape which happen in Sujono’s family where
women characters are raped and objectified by men characters, as rape and objectified
which are still parts of pornography. The results of this study come up with the
meaning why marital rapes happen in the story and the possible causes of rapes.
Keywords: feminism, feminist, radical feminism, dworkin, mackinnon, sexual
objectification, marital rape, perempuan kembang jepun.
