Abstract

This study aims to analyse women subordination and struggle portrayed in Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story Series. This study employs feminism theory with qualitative descriptive approach. The study identifies 28 data: 18 of women subordination and 10 of women struggle. The subordination mainly manifests as men control over women with 14 data in total. Women's struggles are primarily shown through voicing opinions with 6 data in total. The series consistently depicts men's control over women across all social status, while also showing women's persistent efforts to maintain their identity despite subordination.
