Summary
Oka Rusmini wrote the female leaders as victims of the adat system and touched on the ideologies that were behind the adat system that harmed women themselves. Feminism is a set or combination of ideas that seek to study social life by positioning itself in the defense of women. That is, this theory is in favor of the subject imagined, namely the woman who will be defended, which is assumed to be oppressed or marginalized. Women's perspective views power as an important element in the construction of men's and women's relations. This understanding is often difficult to apply to everyday life. One of the goals of adopting the theme of feminism is to equalize the position of women and men. Walby (1989: 213-220) explains that patriarchy is a system of social structures, practices that place men in a dominant position, oppress, and exploit women
