Abstract

This article discusses the life journey and works of an Indonesian female writer, Sariamin Ismail. Many reflections can be taken from the historical chapter of a writer named Sariamin Ismail or better known by her pen name, Selasih. Through the study of novels and popular writings that she has made, many of her attributes are related to the struggle for women’s rights, justice, and family. Her role in a simple family with a social condition of women who are always dominated by men became one of the inspirations in her literary works. Breaking through the mainstream role of the normality of that domination in her novels, plays, and writings in the mass media makes Selasih have to be placed as a historical figure who deserves to be studied. Through the study of literature, this article intends to compile a series of Selasih’s thoughts history which is reflected in each work as a female writer. The span of works analyzed in this article will be an important data reference for compiling a narrative manuscript about History and its reflections in the struggle for women’s rights. This article is expected to provide in-depth insight into the role of women in critical Indonesian society through Selasih’s roles.
