Abstract
This research aims to explore and describe the interpretation of the author^s ideology in the anthology of Sumi dan Gambarnya by Ratna Indraswari Ibrahim. The interpretation is more focused on the author^s socio-cultural background and the author^s thoughts contained in the fact of humanity in each short story by Ratna Indraswari Ibrahim in this anthology. To explore and describe these objectives, the approach used is a genetic structuralism approach. This approach was first introduced by Lucien Goldmann of Perancis. It is amount 5 short stories are used as the objects of study. The research method used is a qualitative descriptive method. The results showed the following. Ratna Indraswari Ibrahim is an accomplished woman who voices a lot about women^s issues in the fictional prose she produces, whether women who experience discrimination, subordination, have dual roles, receive negative labeling, even those who experience violence. In the fact of humanity, there are various variations of the female narrative created to voice that ideology. That ideology is the author^s creative strategy to fight for gender equality that has remained deeply patriarchal and exclusions for women.
