Women Equity Strive in Society Depicted through Animation Film Characters

The purpose of this research is to identify the female representation depicted in the Disney Renaissance and to investigate why Disney characters struggle to claim their equity as women in their society. The research methods used in this study are classified as qualitative and descriptive. The documentation method and taking notes techniques are used to collect data. The research also employs two method concepts to analyze the collected data, including a gender equity approach analysis and Simone de Beauvoir's second-wave feminism theory. The data consists of linguistic units from various Disney Renaissance stories. The writer discovered three parts in the description of female representations based on data analysis of the female representations depicted in Disney Renaissance: rebel, wise, and adventurous women; confident, intelligent, and repellent of domestication women; and masculine, loyal, and ambitious women.

I. INTRODUCTION
Literature is written communication whether, in the form of poetry, drama, or fiction, and it always communicates human experience and uses narrative devices [1]. Film and literature are two different things with the same goal of creating the greatness of human imagination and understanding. Both film and literature work together to promote the progress of human civilization. Both are complementary. One cannot replace the other, like letters and sounds in human communication. Film and literature inspire each other and sustain the human mind through actions, pictures, words, and replicating human life.
Various popular films adapted from stories in literary works such as folklore, short stories, and novels have their impressions on the audience and connoisseurs. This is seen in the production of films that are well known for their quality. Walt Disney's cooperation has used mythology, historical characters, fairy tales, and fables as the foundation for some fantastic animated films, which are very popular with many people, especially children. Thus, children often use Disney stories as examples in various aspects of life [2]. Walt Disney's films based on children's literature have gained him more recognition than any of his other endeavors [2].
Disney stories have become part of a show culture that has evolved into reproducing gender roles by both children and adults [3]. Moreover, these stories present powerful and sustained messages about gender and social relations. Gender roles are influenced by the media, family, environment, and society in socializing and forming relationships [4].
Walt Disney Corporation has a very long role in female film production, helping to shape the ideals of femininity for millions of little girls both in America and around the world. With the development of literature, the first Disney princess drew on associations of traditional femininity, indicating the widespread encouragement of these traits within 1930's American culture.
Disney strives to maintain the traditional ideals of femininity. However, the critical and popular failure of the work that makes the story in the movie shows that both story readers and film viewers find that the gender roles of Disney princesses are less assertive and less desirable. Disney has been battling with the public and their audience for many years, being accused of portraying their characters, specifically females, in stereotypical ways. The massive part of society that can influence the audience by comparing themselves to others is gender roles and their connotations [3].
Since Walt Disney's death, Disney has struggled through the entire length of the late 1980s [5]. Disney released the story based on an original tale created by the Grimm Brothers in their first full-length animated film in 1937, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs but changed to create more entertainment for the generation that needs it [6].
Disney created a story of romance with cheerful music and a happy ending that took away the fear, violence, and unpleasant realities [3]. Disney's trend starts from a domestic woman who becomes a damsel-in-distress relying on a prince to come and save the life of a young and kind princess that portrays society's point of view of what is expected of women. Their gender roles are in the character of Snow White.
Therefore, Disney released a new Disney woman, "New Wave," who turned the female character into a kind of hero, with a voice and a desire for adventure: the heroine [7]. This new approach ushered in two decades of enterprising heroines, with progressive qualities and characters fully compatible with gender roles that are increasingly acceptable in societies where women have the same work as men [7].
Representations of women in Disney films are due partly to the fact that Walt Disney's personal feelings about family life shaped the Disney Company, and partly to the fact that his attitudes mirrored the patriarchal cultural beliefs of the 1940s about what roles women should play in society [3].
In this description above, the female representation in Disney will be fascinating to discuss. Most of the significant battles of the women's rights movement had been won and could be seen through women being accepted into college, women in the workplace, and access to things like birth control and abortion were in the 1980s. Even though equality is not entirely as desired, women continue to step up for Volume 3, Number 2, November 2021 p. 112-125 their equal rights. From 1989 to 1999, Disney reclaimed their authority in the animation industry, and after several years of struggle, it later released The Disney Renaissance or Disney Golden Era [5].
The Disney Renaissance, as already mentioned, was one of the most successful eras of Disney animation [8]. Although the animation process generally became more expensive, films in the Disney Renaissance era had more profits than ever before. Furthermore, what marked the beginning of the period generally known as the Disney Renaissance was The Little Mermaid (1989) and during this era began to feature many non-Western characters or settings [8], such as Beauty and the Beast in 1991, Aladdin in 1992, Pocahontas in 1995 and Mulan 1998. With the cultural changes in America, Disney also started making changes in their princess movies. The pattern that arises in this Disney phase is that the main female protagonist seeks to be released from her societal bonds and expectations [9].
The princesses in this era are seen as rebellious, adventurous, and ambitious as they seek their freedom and roles. However, they can still feel happy at the ending of the story [10]. The second wave of the feminist movement challenged the social views of gender roles, especially women, and created the opportunity for change in the late 1960s until the early 1970s [9]. In the 1960s, women expended the courage and determination to seek equal opportunities, pay, advancements in the workplace and society (Walsh, 2010). Furthermore, they were seeking to change the way American society and culture characterized, spoke about, and respected women [10].
The writer presents this research using the secondwave feminism theory by Simone de Beauvoir. The writer uses Beauvoir's theory in her book, The Second Sex. She made clear that feminism in its second wave was about gender stereotypes. To help measure that the concept of the studies focuses on female representation, the writer uses a gender approach. The Gender equality approach on the conventions and hierarchies that determine women's and men's position in the family, community, and society, whereby men usually dominate women. According to CIDA [12], gender equity requires equal enjoyment by women and men of socially valued goods, opportunities, resources, and rewards. Gender equity does not mean that women and men become the same, but their opportunities and life chances are equal. A heroine that stated them as "assertiveness," "independence," and desire to explore and delineates the progression of female characters toward embodying these previously offlimit characteristics [7].
This description elaborates how the female representation as the women to fight their equality to their desire for freedom, the equality, and those who have the heroine character defined by Stover above. The urgency of this study issues many cases related to how female representation in society fights gender equality. The occurrence of disparities in society with female characters, Disney stories tell the existence of these heroine characters within the scope of the Disney renaissance era, where many characters in Disney that somehow the audience makes Disney characters as role models, and characters in Disney Renaissance princess who have different personalities from previous princesses who are considered Damsels-in-distress and this study aims to inspire women to live with equal opportunities and challenge social views about gender roles. This study's benefits consist of theoretical and practical benefits, which are expected to be able to contribute to society in terms of gender awareness, including women.
Women were only considered homemakers and had to stay at home [13]. Since the early 1920s, the role of women began to be questioned, and their equality was fought for. They began to refuse the traditional standards, gender roles, and expectations [13]. At the end of the 1920s era, during the Great Depression, the women activist slowed down and almost vanished completely. The culture and society reinforced this stigma that the depression affected the role of women and a revival of the traditional view that women were meant to be in the home caring for their husbands and children and providing for their families.
The term feminism was coined in the year 1960. Generally, feminism is the women's movement to get their right to have the same degree and freedom in society, Feminism support women to be free and Leon, Carlo Yannick & Schmidt, Emilia N.

rejects all the discrimination that has been experienced by many women in the world [14]. Feminism gives opportunities for women to have the same equality as men and changes people's perspectives on women who are weak, helpless, and incompetent. Tong [14] states that feminism support women to grow and improve themselves to show their true colors.
Feminism has three waves. The first-wave has happened between the mid-19th century and the early 20th century. The second-wave has surfaced between the 1960s and 1970s, refers to the women's liberation movement for equal legal and social rights. The extremism the second-wave feminist has exhibited to bring out their plan to achieve equality and freedom for women has made it infamous among its progeny. The third wave, beginning in the 1990s, refers to a continuation of, and a reaction to, second-wave feminism [15].

Second-Wave Feminism
Between the 1960s and 1980s, the second wave of feminism focused on equality and discrimination [15]. The end of the Second World War was a reaction to women returning to their roles as housewives and mothers [16]. The second-wave slogan, "The Personal is Political," identified women's cultural and political inequalities as an inseparable relationship and stimulated women to understand how their private lives reflect sexist power structures [15]. Second-wave feminism has also challenged women's domestic roles and the structural inequalities found in the workplace, reproductive rights, and access to public spaces [17].
In this wave, the movement where women created their own popular culture and spread through feminist films, music, books, and even restaurants [16], this movement was triggered by the publishing of Simone de Beauvoir's book, The Second Sex, first published in Paris in 1949 [16]. In a book, Beauvoir started by describing a woman's life from her childhood years on. She looked at women first from a historical perspective. Then she pointed out that a woman's life is centered on marriage because even though a woman is not married, she can still control her life [18].
In the Second Wave, Beauvoir represents the section of the independent woman; as a complex, contradictory figure. According to Beck [19], Beauvoir's estimation of woman's potential for authentic freedom under the structures of patriarchal capitalism is bleak in that she does not envisage it possible for the woman to be accessible simply by occupying the spaces made available to them within those structures: the mother, the wife, the beauty, the obedient worker and so on. Beauvoir argues that an independent woman represents something other than "having it all." It requires the woman to take responsibility for what she already has in the place that she finds herself and take responsibility for a creative reworking of that situation [19].
With this description, to become an independent woman on Beauvoir's terms means undertaking an ongoing process towards freedom that has no predetermined destination insight. Beauvoir's statement is written in Feminism: A Very Short Introduction. The Image of an independent woman who; wants to be active, a taker and refuses the passivity man means to impose on her. The modern woman accepts masculine values; she prides herself on thinking, taking action, working, creating on the same terms as a man [20].
