ABSTRACT: This article discusses Madurese women in the Damar Kambang novel by Muna Masyari, a writer from Madura, who fights against normative culture. Muna Masyari is known as a Madurese writer with works highlighting Madurese culture. In the Damar Kambang novel, Muna Masyari narrates three women from the perspective of the female narrator’s “I” in their marriage struggles. The close reading method and note-taking techniques are used to analyze the issues in the novel. The data collected focuses on the female narrators “I” point of view, the relationship between characters, events, and plot, which shows that Damar Kambang’s novel places Madurese women not as objects. Madurese women in the institution of marriage in the Damar Kambang novel repeatedly display judgment and show themselves as subjects. Protests against Madurese norms for women’s roles and indentity as well as “tengka” (Madurean etiquette) are represented by the portrayal of the characters’ decision to have sexual relations outside of marriage, the dominance of sexual relations within marriage over men, and surrendering herself to a men she doesn’t love as a form of paying off her debt.
