Male Domination of Women in the Novel Princess by Jean P Sasson: A Psychological Study

— The purpose of this study is to describe the dominance of male characters in a novel. The difference between men and women is essentially a biological characteristic (gender) which is sharpened through the process of socialization. In addition to the socialization process, there is also a social construction with the concept of gender. This is what determines the various practices of male domination unfairly over women. This study uses descriptive qualitative method. Qualitative descriptive is a research with a description through words or sentences to obtain a conclusion. Documentation study was conducted as a method of data collection. This research uses content analysis method, namely by giving meaning to the novel Princess by Jean P Sasson. This study concludes that a woman is indeed weak in terms of physical, power and so on. But that weakness can be a strength to fight against the power or domination of a man in acting and treating women excessively. Such an attitude is a manifestation of the desire to get what is called gender equality.
