Library's collection Library's IT development CancelThis study is about the main characters’, Langen’s, Fani’s, and Febi’s, effort in
achieving equality in teen lit novels Cewek!!! and Still…,. However, despite the girls’
effort, they fail in achieving equality. To find the effort and failure of girls in achieving
equality, I use the theory of gender stereotype. From the theory, I find that the girls show
their effort in achieving equality from their strength, independence, logic, and intelligence.
Although the girls show their effort, these novels still show the girls’ failure in achieving
equality. It can be seen how by the girls are pictured as weak, emotional, unintelligent,
and submissive; while the boys (Rei, Bima, and Rangga) are pictured as strong, rational,
and intelligent. In conclusion, I find that despite showing the girls’ effort, these novels
also show that the girls fail in achieving equality.
