abstract: Women in literary works are often portrayed as dependent, passive, and focused on their physical attractiveness. However, the researcher found that in characterizing Janna as the main character of the novel Saints and Misfits, the author’s writing style tends to show positive characteristics. Saints and Misfits is a novel published in 2017 and written by a Muslim feminist, Sajidah K. Ali. This study focused on the representation of a female main character written by a female author. In this study, the researcher uses a qualitative method with purposive sampling and uses the feminist stylistics theory proposed by Sara Mills. Feminist stylistics offers a framework that analyzes texts with three different levels: words, phrases/sentences, and discourse. By applying the theory, this study aims to find how the author of the novel used language to represent or portray Janna as the main character in the novel Saints and Misfits at the word/phrase level, sentence level, and discourse level. After conducting the research, the researcher found that Janna, the main character of the novel Saints and Misfits, is represented by the author as a positive character. At the word/phrase level, Janna is described with more positive connotations rather than negative ones. At the sentence level, Janna appears as an active character who has control of her own decisions and actions. Also, at the discourse level, Janna is represented as smart, creative, religious, and a subject with complex thoughts, motivations, and purposes. The positive representation of the female main character is a rejection of the negative stereotypes that often restrict female characters to passiveness and sexual attractiveness.
