    Abstract

    Wither (2011) is a dystopian novel about the destruction of the world as the
    aftereffect of World War III. The situation worsens after a deadly virus emerges
    due to a failure of a genetic trial. Women in the novel are subordinated as they are
    mainly seen as a baby-producing machine by men so that humans will not be
    extinct. The study aims to analyze how the subordination of women is portrayed
    in the novel Wither. Applying a qualitative approach and textual analysis, this
    study uses Mitchell’s (1966) socialist feminist theory due to the subordination of
    women which occurs in more than one sectors. Additionally, to untangle the
    portrayal of women’s subordination in the novel, the study analyzes the literary
    elements of the novel guided by Roberts and Jacobs’ (2004) elements of fiction
    focusing primarily on narration, character and characterization, style, diction and
    dialogue. The data analysis shows that women’s subordination is portrayed mostly
    through narration and diction, and occurs in four different structures: sexuality,
    reproduction, production, and socialization. The subordination, however,
    primarily occurs in terms of sexuality. This research is expected to not only
    contribute to the study of women’s subordination but also to increase people’s
    awareness of different forms of subordination in the society, and that they know
    how to resist and act against it.
