Abstract

Although Indonesia has made much progress in gender equality, there are still inequalities between men and women in some areas, such as education or work. This research focuses on Charles Fourier’s feminism and Maslow’s self-actualization. The writer focuses on the self-esteem prerequisite and five personality traits of Maslow’s self-actualization theory. The field of this research is qualitative research, and it uses descriptive-analytic research. This research uses the novel Jane Eyre and collects relevant novel plots to analyze Jane Eyre’s utterances and actions to explore her personality traits. This research aims to reveal from the perspective of feminism how Jane Eyre presents the personality characteristics of self-actualization. In this research, the result is the following: combined with feminism, Jane Eyre has a self-esteem personality and five personality traits of self-actualization. Five of them are: perceiving reality, accepting self and others, be problem-centrist, independent, resisting, and criticizing the existing social culture.
