Abstract

This research situates feminism as a social, political, and ideological movement that aims to fight for women's rights and eliminate gender discrimination. The representation of feminism in the context of film and mass media refers to the ways in which women are shown and portrayed through stories, characters, and other elements. This study aims to analyze and compare the representation of feminism in the 19th century as depicted in Enola Holmes 2 and in the 20th century as depicted in On The Basis Of Sex. A descriptive qualitative research approach is used in this study, with documentation studies as the primary data collection technique. Ferdinand de Saussure's semiotic theory is employed for data analysis to interpret the signifier and signified meanings. The results of this study indicate that in Enola Holmes 2, set in the 19th century, women's space for movement is very limited. Women are faced with a patriarchal system that restricts their opportunities for careers and education, preventing their participation in the public sphere. In contrast, On The Basis of Sex, set in the 20th century, shows that women can participate in the public sphere and obtain rights such as opportunities for work and education. This film also demonstrates feminist values through aspects like appearance, cosmetics, and personality. Feminist values are represented through camera codes, situations, and discourse. At the ideological level, feminist ideas are used to highlight the liberal school of thought, addressing discrimination against women who are treated unfairly, as seen in Enola Holmes 2.
