This study aims to discuss the role of women in the public sphere in the view of the Qur'an. This research method uses a qualitative type through library research by collecting library sources, both primary sources, namely the holy book of the Qur'an and secondary sources, namely theses, theses, dissertations and journals related to this research. Then this study applies content analysis as a tool to explore the collected data so that it can lead to conclusions. The results and discussion of this research include general views on women, the role of women in the public sphere, and analysis of the role of women in the public sphere in the view of the Qur'an. This study concludes that women have the right also to play a role in the public sphere, as contained in the verses of the Qur'an which explain that women in the sight of Allah have the same position and right to do good deeds as men, a woman has a responsibility the same as men, that is, they are equally obliged to devote themselves to Allah SWT. Women also have a role and function in social life. This study recommends that research with other scientific approaches be carried out
