“…Many of these works highlight the plights of women and children in association with nature caused by patriarchy, development and capitalism. Abbasi and Moslehi (2016) investigate how the novel Herland (1998) by Charlotte Perkins Gilman, challenges the paternal attitudes as explained in Darwin's human evolutionary development. To them, Gilman has challenged the strict dualism of patriarchy by creating a utopian world in her novel where it is devoid of competition, war and violence that are closely linked to patriarchal attitudes.…”

The close relationship between nature and women is an aged-old phenomenon. Nature itself is often associated with feminine traits owing to its motherly and nurturing nature. There have been a substantial amount of academic studies conducted for the purpose of examining the intricate relationship between nature and women. Eco-feminism for instance, investigates how the exploitation of nature is akin to the exploitation of women by capitalism and patriarchy. Meanwhile, there is also ecological feminism that discusses how women have been placed in unfair positions through male- biased division of labour and environmental roles. Although some scholars have attempted to explore how nature serves to empower women, the role of nature as a means of empowerment for female ghosts remains relatively scarce. This study aims to examine how nature can play its role to empower women even as ghosts in two Southeast Asian horror films namely Inhuman Kiss (2019) and Suzzanna: Buried Alive (2018). This study explores the relationship between the female ghosts and nature in relation to the abject and the lens of eco-feminism. It aims to demonstrate how the bond between nature and women perpetuates beyond the corporeal world.

“…In 1984, the linguist Suzette Haden Elgin wrote a science fiction novel to test her feminist language. In addition, an American woman poet named Elizabeth Akers Allen (Kurnia, 2015) and Charlotte Perkins Gilman, who is one of the first English language utopian writers, put of gender and women's rights at their writings (Abbasi & Moslehi, 2016). Besides that, Eithne Strong is also a writer whose main concerns are the role of women, of domestic matters, and of women's confrontation with love, death, and sexuality (Chang, 2017).…”

The research aimed to examine feminism values on the posters of Yogyakarta’s students’ demonstration the #Gejayanmemanggil. Data collection technique was conducted by reading and note-taking techniques. From social media (Instagram), read the posters for several times, made a reduction for the data, and analyzed the feminism values which were reflected in the data based on the discourse or textual aspects. In the findings, the use of feminist languages, which contained the feminism values was revealed, in order to correlate it with the previous studies and theories. It was affected by the positive and negative meanings of the words and their impact on the audience. Discourse analysis was the proper way to examine the hidden ideologies of discourse. It revealed the discursive structures and manipulative language of the speakers or writers. The results reveal that the posters on the demonstration #Gejayanmemanggil contain feminism values as reflected in the feminist languages which support the ideology. Therefore, based on the findings of the research which conducts a discourse analysis in examining mass communication, language has enormous powers in appealing to emotions, manipulating someone’s thoughts and behavior, as well as misrepresenting the realities.
