The results of this study indicate that there are differences between the culture of gender inequality in the two novels: (1) Yuni's novel presents gender injustice against Javanese women in the form of disastrous when rejecting male proposals more than three times and (2) The novel Woman Crying to the Moon Black presented gender injustice to Sumbanese women in the form of a catastrophe when they rejected the Yappa Mawine (Marriage Capture) tradition. The study uses a comparison table of elements of feminism and problamatic gender found in the novel Yuni and the Women Crying for the Black Moon.
