The three short stories represent the picture of the circumstances of women in those days. The problem focused on this research is how the image of Indonesian women in the 1970s and 1980s and the authors' views on the marginalization of women in those days. Descriptive qualitative method is used to solve the problems, by using positivism and phenomenological paradigm to understand human behavior and their frame of mind. By using the theory of focalization, this paper analyzes the views of society at that time which is depicted in focalizator figures in the three short stories. The results showed that women in the 1970s and 1980s experienced marginalization through three spaces, namely social, economic, and stereotyped. It can be concluded that women with low educational and economic levels during that period were targeted for insolvency because they lacked fighting power.]]>
