This study explores the representation of female characters in Indonesian children's literature using a gynocritical approach. The object of the study is the novel Laut Bercerita by Leila S. Chudori. The study employs the gynocritical theory developed by Elaine Showalter, which focuses on the experiences and perspectives of women in literature. The research is conducted through a qualitative analysis of the novel, using content analysis and close reading techniques. The results of the study demonstrate the importance of applying a gynocritical approach in analyzing children's literature, as it uncovers the nuanced and complex representation of female characters in the novel. The study reveals how the female characters in Laut Bercerita exhibit agency, empowerment, and resistance to patriarchal norms, challenging traditional gender stereotypes. The study concludes that gynocritical readings can contribute to broader efforts to promote gender equality, challenging traditional gender stereotypes and promoting more equitable gender relations.
