Abstract

This study aims to identify the kinds of French women discrimination, and the way they respond to discrimination in Hannah’s The Nightingale. The researcher uses feminist literary criticism to answer the objectives above. This study is a qualitative research employing content analysis method. The novel entitled The Nightingale by Kristin Hannah was used as the main source. The data were in a form of sentences and paragraphs related to gender discrimination, women’s responses towards discrimination, and influencing factors of the women’s responses. The primary instrument of this research was the researcher herself. There were five steps of data analysis; reading and re-reading the data, re-arranging the data, interrelating the data, interpreting the data, and making the interpretation into storyline. To achieve the trustworthiness of the data, the researcher conducted triangulation by undergoing the consultation to the thesis supervisors, and peer-reviewing with friends. After analyzing the novel, the researcher finds four results related to the objectives of the research. The first one is related to gender discrimination faced by the female characters which are (1) marginalization: marginalization in private life, and society; (2) subordination: alienation, and restriction; (3) stereotype: weakness, foolishness, and harmless; and (4) violence: psychological, physical, and sexual violence. The second result is related to women’s responses towards discrimination. There are two different ways French women respond to discrimination which are (1) struggling: showing their resistance and taking collective actions; and (2) accepting: having no resistance and least engaging in collective action. The third finding is the unexpected agenda in the novel that emphasizes men as heroes in the war.
