Abstract
This study aims to reveal the phenomenon of social-cultural facts of Bugis women as subalterns in the short story “Ketika Saatnya," written by Darmawati Majid. The problem in this research is the narration of the third-world women in Darmawati’s Ketika Saatnya. This study uses the subaltern theory by Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak. The term subaltern refers to a social, political, and geographical population subdued by a group that controls them. A subaltern is a group whose voice is always represented and becomes a tool of a hegemonic practice that symbolizes political, military, social, and even cultural domination by one group over another. The study reveals that the position of women as subalterns are narrated as a subaltern group trying to convey their voice to be heard even though they occupy a position as "third-world women" who are trapped between tradition and modernization.
