Abstract

Literary products such as poetry, short stories, dramas, and novels are important especially in teaching people about life and society and how to deal with many things which could happen in it, such as: wars, death, love, and even conflicts in someone’s life. One problem in this life is the struggle of women to achieve the equal rights as men have. Women are placed in the second class in the society. They started to struggle in order to have the same rights as men have. Megha Lahiri and Damyanti Misra, the characters in Ruchira Mukerjee’s Toad in My Garden represent the spirit of women who want to be independent, in which they do each in a different way. Based on the background mentioned above, the writer is interested in analyzing a novel by Ruchira Mukerjee, entitled Toad in My Garden. To analyze the problem of social culture and conditions in the novel, the writer uses feminism approach. Feminism approach theories by Simone De Beavoir and Mary Wollstonecraft will explain the spirit of Radical Feminism and Liberal Feminism which is reflected in the character of Megha Lahiri and Damyanti Misra. The theories will explain and guide us to understand what the characteristic of Radical Feminism and Liberal Feminism are, and how women should do for getting their own identities as women in the patriarchal system. This thesis finds that women should articulate their minds, wills and opinions to achieve their identity in a right way. Megha Lahiri and Damyanti Misra reveal their minds,wills and opinion through their own characteristics. Megha Lahiri and Damyanti Misra are the representation of Liberal feminism and Radical feminism. They show the spirit that marks the feminism movement in the future.
