The procedure of collecting the data is reading, identifying, inventorying, classifying, selecting and reporting all types of data in appendices. After getting the data, then the writer did explaining and interpreting.

The final step is analyzing the data using the theory of feminism and making some conclusions and suggestions.

Additionally, there is a powerful theme about how oppressed people can unite with solidarity to overcome their oppressors.
