Abstract

This research emphasizes the struggles for gender equality against the fundamentalist regime in The Handmaid's Tale (1985) by Margaret Atwood. The theory used in this study is the perspective of Feminism and Marxism. This study aims to find indicators in the struggles for gender equality, how the struggles for gender equality are depicted in the novel, and the reason for the author in determining the issues of gender equality needed in the novel. In completing her research, the author uses two data sources namely primary and secondary data sources. The primary data is Margaret Atwood's The Handmaid's Tale novel and the secondary data is journal articles, publication articles, and several internet sites that are needed as additional information in this study. There are three results of the study: 1) found six indicators that influenced the struggle for gender equality; breaking the hierarchy, opposing subjugation, obtaining freedom of speech and education, revoking the union rights, opposing individual rights violation, and opposing homosexual orientation. 2) in composing her novel, the author conveyed some issues through the descriptions of characters, events, place settings, and language styles. 3) the author addresses the topic of gender equality based on his reflection on women's rights and the history of women's rights violation in the United States in the 1980s.
