INTRODUCTION
Literature is an human expression in the form of written or oral works, based on thoughts, experiences, to feelings in imaginative forms or as a reflection of facts (Thabroni, 2019). Literary works can be a reflection of the facts of human life by revealing history, giving lessons, conveying messages, entertaining, and so forth. Therefore, literary works have a close relationship with society. This is in accordance with Marx's opinion that literature is always related and cannot be separated from the phenomena of life that surround it (Anggraeni, 2021).
Literary works often discuss topics that are currently being discussed, such as the topic of women or better known as feminism. In literary studies, feminism is related to the concept of feminist literary criticism, namely the study of literature that directs the focus of analysis to women (Gora, n.d.). Feminism is a thought that views of women and men have equal opportunities in terms of work, education, and so on. Because apart from the nature-149 conceiving, giving birth, breastfeeding and menstruating-women have the same opportunities like men.
Entrok is a novel by Okky Madasari which contains various issues, one of which is the issue of feminism. This novel also shows life in old tradition in a village where everything is far from modern, where women are completely blocked by the tyranny of men and labeled as 'weak'. Surmani or Marni is the main character in this novel, she is one of the victims in the New Order era where she feels injustice, inequality, and limitations as a woman.
To face this issue of feminism, Mary Wollstonecraft expresses her thoughts on feminism through her work entitled "A Vindication Of The Rights of Women". Wollstonecraft in her work argues that women should have equal opportunities for everything related to gender equality. Wollstonecraft also argues that women are not naturally weak; women are weak because they do not get an education and they are only read 'stupid novels' since childhood. Whereas if women get education, women will also be able to think critically and not only put forward feelings.

FINDING AND DISCUSSION
Mary Wollstonecraft argues that "The great advantages which naturally result from storing the mind with knowledge, are obvious from the following considerations. The association of our ideas is either habitual or instantaneous; and the latter mode seems rather to depend on the original temperature of the mind than on the will" (in Nurrachman, 2017: 134). That Wollstonecraft's statement shows that there are different views of society in viewing women and men. These differences include the assumption that men are able to think critically, habitual, have the will and rational, therefore those make men have power.
Meanwhile, women are more instantaneous, expressive so they don't think critically and those make women powerless. Therefore, this encourages people to have the view that women are weak while men are strong. The issue of this weak woman can be found in the novel Entrok, as follows: "Kamu mau ngangkat apa, Ni?" "Ni, kamu ada-ada saja. Nggak ada perempuan nguli. Nggak akan kuat. Sudah, perempuan itu kerja yang ringan-ringan aja. Ngupas singkong." (Madasari, 2010: 33-34) Based on the narration above, Teja represents the view or stereotype of the society which considers women to be 'weak', by not being able to do heavy work, as exemplified here, is nguli. Whereas, as mentioned earlier, as long as it is not the nature of women, then women and men still have the same opportunities. The understanding that women are weak can also be triggered by a lack of education for women, this is illustrated in the novel Entrok when the simbok prohibits Sumarni from working as a kuli.
Then, the next issue of feminism is described through the marriage between Teja and Sumarni. Where the marriage was held not because of the will of Sumarni, but the will of Teja, and herso mother, Simbok.

In addition, from the quote above, we can also see that women are used as 'objects' to 'entertain' men. We can also find this issue in this novel through the story of Ndari who is used as an 'object' to satisfy her own uncle's desires.  (Madasari, 2010: 237).
Okky Madasari clearly describes that Ndari, a litle woman, is used as an 'object' by men because her body does not match her age. However, regardless of how it looks, women have complete power over their bodies and have the right not to be made as 'objects' by men, especially if they are used as 'objects of sexuality'. Again, this emphasizes that the lack of education received by women can cause things like this to happen and make women have a 'weak character'.
The importance of getting education for women is also related to the concept that was suggested by Wollstonecraft regarding marriage. Wollstonecraft said that when a woman gets an education she will be able to produce better offspring, and this indicates that there will be more educated members of society. The issue of the lack of education for women can also be found in this novel, where Simbok, who never received an education, had an impact on her daughter Sumarni. Sumarni also feels what Simbok feels, which is 153 that she has never felt given an education in school, which makes her unable to read or illiterate.
In addition to the lack of education that women could get, based on the narrative above, we can see that at that time, the patriarchal culture was still embraced by the 154 (Wollstonecraft, 1792: 45). Then Wollstonecraft argues that if women get education, the concept of patriarchy can be suppressed by generating critical thinking.

CONCLUSION
Based on the analysis above, we can see that education is a very important background for both men and women. But unfortunately, not everyone can get an education, like Sumarni and Simbok in this Entrok novel. We need to remember that education is intended for everyone, regardless of gender or wealth. Because everyone has the same rights and opportunity to education. And more than that, the position of a woman when she does not have an educational background, she will be increasingly under men and make her have a 'weak character'. This be accordance with Mary Wollstonecraft, she expressed her view that the 'weakness' of women is due to the lack of education that women get and women's pleasure in reading or watching picisan. So that makes women put their feelings first. Therefore, the best method of correcting this is to remember that those are fiction. Wollstonecraft argues that she does not expect women to have the power to dominate men, but she does hope that women have the power to overcome themselves. As is the case with Sumarni in the novel Entrok, who tries to hold power over herself and become independent.
