Abstract

This research examines a novel entitled A Woman Is No Man by Etaf Rum that depicts two Palestinian Muslim women named Isra Hadid and Deya Ra’ad living in America and struggling to go against the confines of Arab conservative tradition. Isra struggles to protect her daughters’ future to avoid the oppressive system in her community while Deya struggles by insisting on continuing her studies at university in order to break the traditions in her family. How these two women struggle after receiving the oppression and exploitation is analyzed using the theory of Islamic feminism proposed by Amina Wadud that attempts to explain misunderstandings about the status and role of women in Islam through re-reading the Qur’an and Hadith from a woman’s perspective. This research also applied the Narratology as the method to explain and reveal the struggles. The result shows that gender injustice and discrimination regarding the status and role of women in their family traditions are found and still continue to the next generation. Although the patriarchal tradition persists, its intensity wanes in later generations.
