| Abstract | This applied research has four objectives, namely to analyze (1) the form of gender inequality, (2) the form of women's emancipation, and (3) the practice of gender resistance in the novel Kenanga by Oka Rusmini. This qualitative descriptive study uses qualitative data collected by observation and documentation methods. The research instrument is a researcher who is equipped with a set of feminism theory and data analysis cards. The data collected was then analyzed using a qualitative descriptive technique based on the theory of feminism. The results of the study found that the plot of the Kenanga novel was a flashback type. The main cha-racter who experiences gender injustice and resists her feminist thoughts, attitudes, and behavior is Kenanga. The forms of gender injustice against Balinese women in Oka Rusmini's novel Kenanga include marginalization, stereotypes, and violence. The emancipation of Balinese women in the novel Kenanga is defined as the process of releasing women from low socioeconomic positions and from legal or traditional ÃÂ ÃÂ ÃÂ ÃÂ ÃÂ ÃÂ restraints, especially the caste system that restricts women from developing. Balinese women's resistance through Kenanga and Intan appears in four forms, namely inner, cultural, social, and verbal resistance.Penelitian terapan ini memiliki empat tujuan, yakni menganalisis (1) bentuk ketidakadilan gender, (2) wujud emansipasi wanita, dan (3) praktik resistensi gender dalam novel Kenanga karya Oka Rusmini.
