Dukuhseti Pati in Literature and Social Reality: A Perception About Women

Abstract

Prostitution is a phenomenon in people's lives and is considered a "social problem". The condition of women as objects also appears in literary works, as a reflection of the perception of their society. Therefore, studies are needed in the perspective of feminism, especially radical feminists to explore the issue of prostitution that occurs in women. Feminist Literary Critical Approach is carried out in this study with the type of qualitative research. Data were collected from female sex worker informants and formal figures with in-depth interview techniques and field data observations.
