Abstract
This research has two objectives. The first is to identify Andrea Sachs’ Girl Power aspects reflected in Weisberger’s The Devil Wears Prada and the second is to show how Girl Power empowers or disempowers Andrea Sachs in this novel. The theory of feminism, postfeminism, and Girl Power become the bases of analysis employed in this research. This research used qualitative approach. Content analysis was used as the technique of analysis. The subject of this research was a chick lit entitled The Devil Wears Prada written by Lauren Weisberger. The data were sentences and discourses showing Andrea Sachs’ Girl Power aspects and Andrea Sachs’ empowerment and disempowerment. To obtain trustworthiness, the researcher used triangulation technique. There are two results of this research: (1) there are four Girl Power aspects that are shown by Andrea Sachs’ character in The Devil Wears Prada: celebrating femininity, making individual choices, being independent, and being confident, and (2) Andrea Sachs’ Girl Power Aspects of celebrating femininity, making individual choices, being independent can empower her to survive in her workplace but Andrea Sachs’ Girl Power aspect of being confident can disempower her life and relationship with her family, friends, and boyfriend. Since chick lit is popular all around the world, Andrea Sachs with her Girl Power aspects in Weisberger’s chick lit The Devil Wears Prada can inspire women readers to be powerful women. However, these aspects can also ruin her life if she cannot make her life and work run in balance.
