This research discusses how the development of the study of the representation of women wearing hijab in mass media in Indonesia. Using Ridley's systematic literature review method to collect 10 scientific literature documents related to the representation of women wearing hijab in the mass media. 10 scientific literature documents then underwent data extraction with 6 categories, namely: focus of discussion, media objects, methods and data analysis, theories used, research results, and suggestions. The results of the study suggest that mass media construction of women wearing hijab depends on the ideology of the media so that the media's point of view varies.
