Abstract

Distortion of women’s rights is a difficult problem to eliminate due to the patriarchal culture in society. This study aims to: (1) describe the forms of distortion of women’s rights in Nawal El-Saadawi’s Suquth Al-Imam based on Naomi Wolf’s perspective; (2) describe the form of resistance to the distortion of women’s rights in Nawal El-Saadawi’s Suquth Al-Imam based on Naomi Wolf’s perspective. This descriptive qualitative research takes the primary data source from the novel “Suquth Al-Imam” by Nawal El-Saadawi. After the data are collected from reading and note-taking techniques, the data are validated by increasing persistence, triangulation, and discussion. Then, the data analysis techniques include data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion. The results of this research are: (1) the forms of distortion of women’s rights in this novel are the right to take part in government organizations, the rights in education and teaching, the rights in the fields of profession and employment, the rights in carrying out legal actions, and the rights in marital relations; (2) the forms of resistance to the distortion of women’s rights in the novel are independence, altruism, persistence, chauvinism, and revolutionaries.
