Abstract

Gender inequality refers to the unequal treatment experienced by individuals based on their gender, typically favoring men and disadvantaging women. This research aims to examine the gender inequality experienced by female characters in the movie North Country, and the factors that maintain this gender inequality. The research identifies patriarchal structures and the factors of gender inequality, as performed by the characters Josey and all female characters in the movie. The researcher selected, highlighted, and screen captured scenes featuring dialogue and action, then analyzed them using the Creswell analysis model. The research employs Walby’s (1990) patriarchal theory to examine the structures of patriarchy and the theory from (Bourdieu, 1986) to identify the factors maintaining gender inequality. The findings of this research indicate six patriarchal structures: paid employment, household production, culture, sexuality, violence, and the state. Violence is identified as the dominant structure, while paid employment and sexuality are the least. The research also finds that Economic Capital, Cultural Capital, and Social Capital are key factors in maintaining gender inequality, with Economic Capital being the most used. Keywords: gender, gender inequality, north country, patriarchy
