The purpose of this study is to explore the role of women in the Progressive Era through different stories written during similar times, as well as to develop deeper insight into the social and emotional impact on the personal freedom of women. During the 1900s, women were considered inferior in a patriarchal society. They were subdued and discriminated against in all walks of life, and they were obliged to perform family duties and society. Before the Progressive Era, women were oppressed and treated as second-class citizens. They were considered only wives and mothers, created only to obey and serve their husbands, to look after their children and to take care of the household. As women's attitudes changed, reform movements gained momentum in the late 19th century. American women were no longer seen as mothers or wives confined to their homes; rather, societal change demanded that they be educated, work and contribute to the social order. As a result, the Women’s rights movements in the 19th century and the Feminist Movements in the early 20th century were involved in a series of efforts to fight for the restoration of gender equality. Thus, female roles in American society in the Progressive Era changed drastically in terms of education, job opportunities and improved living conditions. The objective of this study is to examine and analyze the women characters, their issues, as well as the changing gender roles in the works of Charlotte Gilman, Kate Chopin and Susan Glaspell based on the structural elements, using qualitative research with documentation technique.

“…In his book Woman at Point Zero, Quyoom (2017) discusses women's struggles, whereas Raskar (2013) discusses cultural alienation as a global problem in today's society. The sufferings of female characters in The Awakening and The Yellow Wall Paper were explained by Qasim, et al (2015). It tries to look into the consequences of suppression on women's mental health, which causes them to commit suicide in order to break free from male dominance in society, as well as the role of suppression in crazy, which is another way for women to break free.…”

Oppression is the name of social injustice. It is perpetuated through social institutions, practices, and norms on social group by social group. Indian society belongs to the man since time immemorial. The woman has been given a secondary and inferior position in her family and society. She has been facing injustice, suppression, oppression, subjugation, and exploitation in a male-dominated Indian society. This study aims to describe how male domination and women’s oppression experienced by women and its explanation in what extent oppression reject male domination represented in The Mango Season novel. The method used in this study is descriptive qualitative study and using Derrida’s theory of deconstruction to support the data. The main theory used in this study is Maine’s theory of Patriarchy in a perspective of feminist. This study shows that the novel deconstructs its portrayal of male’s domination towards women. So, by destabilizing the binary opposition in the novel, that are males oppose females, the males-females hierarchy are reversed.

“…Lahiri (1999) portrays a female character with various limitations. These kinds of limited situations have been imposed toward woman, so it is argued (Qasim et all, 2015) that the most terrible thing is when women receive the oppression as her nature. The statement means that the most terrible thing is when a woman finally gets used to oppressions which places her as inferior, up to the point that she can no longer think about taking any new opportunities based on her own wishes and abilities.…”

One of most arguable and observable social phenomena is gender inequality which is based on feminism thoughts. Considering how literature may portray human’s life along with its values, this study is purposed to elaborate and compare how feminism thoughts and gender inequality take place in various literary works. Based on the importance of feminism thoughts and gender inequality in cross cultural literature, then there is a necessity to conduct a comparative literature study which focused on feminism thoughts. This study took four kinds of literary works, namely drama, prose (short-story), movie, and poetry. Feminism approach as sociological approach was applied in this study altogether with comparative criticism and content analysis method. This study discussed how feminism thoughts got more supports and encouragement as the century progressed. By comparing literary works from 20th and 21st century, several important findings can be drawn, namely (a) feminism thoughts are getting stronger along with the progression of century, (b) feminism thoughts always oppose gender inequality as both are always found as binary oppositions in literary work, (c) both feminism and gender-inequality live through human’s values and repetitive actions, (d) personal and familial values are crucial in order to develop feminism thoughts and gender-inequality in an individual, and (e) the change of values, especially social and cultural values can bring changes in both feminism and gender inequality phenomena.
