In a society with a patriarchal system, females are subordinate to males and have limited access and freedom. Females are pressured and controlled so they are limited in their movement and they try to show female subjectivity. Carmen Maria Machado narrates the unnamed female protagonist, husband, and only son in her first debut book, Her Body and Other Parties (2017). This anthology book is awarded the Shirley Jackson Award in 2017. This research is based on Post-Structural Feminism theory, the concept of subjectivity, and the concept of resistance. The method in this study is the descriptive method. Dialogue between characters and the author's narrative are data from a short story that will be analyzed in this study. This study illustrates that female subjectivity is a way to show the existence of selfhood and personality. The trigger for the emergence of female subjectivity is the oppression experienced by the unnamed female protagonist. The female protagonist does verbal and avoidance resistance over her husband and her son. Here, Machado gives the women voices they need. Keywords: Carmen Maria Machado, Identity, Subjectivity, Post-Structural Feminism

In this paper, we discuss a critical reflection on the extent to which the use of automated written corrective feedback, in this case, Paper Rater, aligned with the actual classroom implementation, particularly viewed from students’ perception and their writing performance. Students perceive that the feedbacks given during the revision process are useful, particularly in teacher feedback, peer, and the Paper Rater. All students generally understand all the comments/corrections they get from their lecturer, and peer. Some students ignore the whole task after reading the peer's feedback. Students are behaviourally engaged with the multiple feedbacks they receive during the revision process. They also believe that the changes they make in the second draft make my writing better. The feedback they received from their lecturer makes them feel willing to do the task again and will overcome their mistakes with practice. Students are happy with the corrective feedback they receive from teacher, peer and Paper Rater. It clarifies that the students are cognitively engaged with the multiple feedbacks they received. The students also claimed that teacher-student conference is very helpful to mediate their confusion. Keywords: Robots, automated written
