RADICAL FEMINISM IN NANCY SPRINGER’S MOVIE SCRIPT ENOLA HOLMES

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the representation of feminist actions in the movie script of Enola Holmes by Nancy Springer, with a special emphasis on the perspective of radical feminism. This research uses a qualitative method through document analysis of the movie script to identify how the main character, Enola Holmes, reflects the values of feminism. The results show that Enola Holmes represents three main aspects of radical feminism in radical ways, namely independent thinking, rejection of gender stereotypes, and assertion of self-reliance. Through dialog and critical action, Enola demonstrates resistance to patriarchal norms and asserts her autonomy in life decision-making, education, and personal identity. Her rejection of traditional gender roles and social expectations emphasizes the struggle towards gender equality and women's empowerment. Thus, this study concludes that the character of Enola Holmes is a strong representation of radical feminist ideology and a medium to challenge patriarchal structures in literature and media. Keywords: Radical Feminism, Enola Holmes, Gender Stereotypes, Independent Thinking, Rejection of Gender Stereotypes, and Assertion of Self-Reliance
