Abstract

This article will discuss the position of women in public transportation in Jakarta in the short story “A Word in the Train Carriage” by Arsiyfa Palan Tarlan. As it is known that Jakarta is an urban city whose residents commute from the surrounding area to work, study, study, trade, and other things. Most of Jakarta’s population lives in the suburbs. One of the highlights of the shuttle is electric train transportation. This article tries to reveal how the position of women in public transportation is as depicted in the short story “A Piece of the Word in the Train Car” by Arsiyfa Palan Tarlan. The method used is a qualitative method and the theory used is the sociology of literature. The result of the discussion is that this short story illustrates that women, in this case young women, are more sensitive to their hearts and feelings towards the surrounding environment than young men. This shows that the “emancipation” movement has moved to a higher level.
