Abstract

This study is intended to know what happened to the American women in the 19th century as well as to find out the different position between men and women in the 19th century as seen in the short stories of Shirley Jackson’s The Lottery, Katherine Anne Porter’s Rope, and Kate Chopin’s The Story of an Hour. This study uses socio-historical approach to analyze the short stories. It is an approach which takes account the social and historical background according to authors’ perspective that become the foundation in creating literary writing becoming the research materials. From the analysis, it is proven that American society in the 19th century considered women as the second citizens whose position was not as equal as men. In that era, women suffered from injustice since they did not have the same rights and opportunity as men did. It can be seen from the result of the study that women were merely housewives while men were the head of the family; that women always obeyed their husband’s decisio n; and that women were merely material possessions to men in the law. The Lottery, Rope, and The Story of an Hour obviously reflect American women’s position in that century as the second class people.
