Surga Ditelapak Kaki Ibu

Puti Emily Naima Sukawati

Surga di Telapak Kaki Ibu (Heaven Lies at a Mother's Feet) is an online publication examining perceptions of women in Indonesia, with a focus on gender roles through the lens of State Ibuism, as critiqued by Julia Suryakusuma. Her analysis of New Order-era ideologies exposes how women were confined to a patriarchal hierarchy, expected to be submissive wives, homemakers, mothers, and societal contributors within caregiving roles. Using satire and irony, the publication challenges these stereotypes and highlights the pressures women face. The phrase, "Surga di Telapak Kaki Ibu," symbolises maternal sacrifice, while women endure societal expectations to conform to restrictive roles.

Surga di Telapak Kaki Ibu critiques power structures, exploring State Ibuism, patriarchy, and the societal control of women’s roles and identities.
