Abstract

Classical historiography is frequently recounted in an elitist manner, predominantly emphasizing the contributions of the masculine elite, such as men who ascended to kingship, without adequately considering the roles of individuals behind significant events, particularly the contributions of women. Consequently, there is a need for a revised perspective in the writing of classical history that acknowledges the significant roles of women during the Hindu-Buddhist kingdom era, thereby enabling Indonesian classical historiography to more accurately reflect human experiences. This study employs a feminist approach to examine classical history with a focus on the roles of women. The objective is to develop a new perspective in classical history by utilizing auxiliary theories to enhance historical narratives. The study employs historical research methods, including heuristics, verification, interpretation, and historiography. Through the application of auxiliary approaches such as feminism, new insights have emerged, revealing that women made contributions in classical history that were equally significant as those of men. Notable examples include Gayatri Rajapatni, who played an intellectual role in the prosperity of the Majapahit Kingdom; Tribhuwana Tunggadewi, who maintained Majapahit's hegemony by successfully quelling the Sadeng and Këta rebellions during her reign; and Ratu Sima, whose wisdom was evident in her leadership of the Kalingga Kingdom. The findings of this research can be further explored through the development of additional classical historical research.

Abstract

This study departs from the strong social stigma attached to women involved in the performing arts during the colonial period in the Dutch East Indies. Within patriarchal and colonial moral constructions, female performers were often associated with deviance, sensuality, and transgressions of domestic norms. Although a number of studies have examined the careers of female artists or representations of women in colonial performing arts, systematic analyses tracing the historical transformation from stigma to professional legitimacy within the context of modern commercial theater remain limited. Employing the historical method, this study demonstrates how women negotiated their positions from marginalized and denigrated figures to central actors on the theatrical stage. The findings show that the modernization of commercial theater (through managerial, aesthetic, and production innovations) introduced by groups such as Miss Riboet’s Orion and Dardanella fostered the emergence of a more professional and competitive performance arena. Business competition and agendas of artistic renewal strengthened women’s positions as leading figures in theatrical productions. As modern theater developed, women who had previously been regarded as low-status entertainment workers gained public recognition as stage stars and symbols of prestige. Women’s images thus shifted from objects of stigma to respected professional subjects within the colonial performing arts industry.Keywords: women, commercial theater, stigma, primadonna, Dutch East Indies, performing entertainment, toneel.
