Abstract

This study focuses on the reflection of millennial women’s lifestyles in metropop novels by female authors. The lifestyle of women studied in this paper is taken from the novel entitled Divortiare by Ika Natassa and analyzed using gynocritical theory and approach. The results found from the gynocritic analysis are, first, the apartment as a choice of place for women to live shows the expression of millennial women’s freedom. Second, millennial women show their success through the work they do. Third, the café is a symbol of the financial stability achieved by millennial women. Fourth, a friendship between women is a source of strength among millennial women. And fifth, divorce is no longer a taboo for women, but a choice from the form of freedom of women’s rights in choosing their way of life. These five aspects voice the experiences of millennial women who can achieve freedom and stability in their lives, as well as the experiences of women who are no longer dependent on men.
