Abstract

The era of globalization and modernism has colored the movement of
 Islamic boarding school
 women to appear in the public sector, but at the same time they are required to successfully carry
 out their duties as housewives. Conventionally, postmodernist feminist construction is in the dual
 role of Islamic boarding school wo
 men in the family and public sector, namely women who have
 a Islamic boarding school background in the field of religion or people who gain legitimacy as
 teachers or mothers. The Islamic boarding school women's movement is top
 -
 down because the
 production o
 f religious knowledge and truth is determined by the religious elite so that the public
 becomes an object that must submit to the elite. The era of new religious movements changed the
 tendency of Islamic boarding school women's thinking paradigm from the d
 omestic area to shift
 to public spaces such as becoming regional heads after the direct regional head election (pilkada)
 system in Indonesia. This paper aims to analyze the movement of Islamic boarding school women
 in the postmodern era in managing their d
 ual roles as housewives and career women in the public
 domain. From descriptive and content analysis of qualitative research data, it shows that the
 postmodern Islamic boarding school women's movement is able to shift the religious paradigm
 from traditiona
 l conventionalism to modern secularism. The conclusion of this article is about the
 election of Islamic boarding school women as regional heads, showing the collapse of patriarchal
 culture in the current postmodern era. This article provides suggestions th
 at affirmative action is
 needed for women to improve education, so that they are able to take part in the development of
 the nation and state
