Kartini comes from the eastern hemisphere, while Katherine from the west. Even when they are in a marginalized situation, Kartini and Katherine constantly pursue their dreams. Kartini and Katherine have privilege on hand, especially their brilliant minds even though with different areas of interest. Kartini fights for women rights while Katherine’s mathematical ability successfully sends astronauts to orbit the Earth. However, even with privilege on hand, these women were still struggling to achieve their goals. The comparative lens identifies the struggles experienced by these privileged women, the causes, the intensity, the women’s solutions in dealing with the struggles, and why they choose the solutions. This qualitative descriptive research uses narratology as a method. This research utilizes Chandra Mohanty’s postcolonial feminism theory as the main theory. Additionally, to read the films the researcher uses Amy Villarejo’s film theory. This research concluded that Kartini and Katherine were struggling albeit with difference in the intensities. Kartini has to deal with higher-intensity pressure in her social surroundings, such as family and relatives. Kartini has to endure physical, mental, and verbal abuses since a very young age. Meanwhile, Katherine deals with mental and verbal abuses in her adulthood. Katherine suffered less intense challenges because she mainly had to deal with a jealous colleague. In dealing with the issues in their lives Kartini and Katherine choose diplomatic ways either by speaking, discussing, or arguing. Their choice reflected their intelligence and effectiveness in dealing with problems by communication. %Z Dr. Danial Hidayatullah, SS., M.Hum
