Hasil penelitian adalah sebagai berikut: (1) citra fisik Lara adalah perempuan dewasa yang sederhana, apa adanya, dan tidak suka bersolek, (2) citra psikis Lara adalah perempuan yang berjiwa kuat, tegar, tanggung jawab, dan mandiri, (3) citra sosial Lara dalam keluarga adalah anak perempuan yang berbakti kepada orang tuanya, dan (4) citra sosial Lara dalam masyarakat adalah perempuan yang ramah, mudah bergaul, dan aktif berkegiatan. Sosok perempuan dalam novel “Kala” ini menggambarkan sosok perempuan yang berhasil menyetarakan kedudukannya dengan laki-laki khususnya dalam bidang pekerjaan di ranah publik. Ketidakadilan yang dihadapinya karena jenis kelamin tidak menjadikan perempuan lemah dan terpuruk tetapi membangkitkan semangatnya menjadi perempuan yang mandiri.Katakunci: citra, perempuan, feminis ideologisAbstract:The study aimed to describe the woman’s image reflected by the main character of Kala, a novel written by Stefani Bella and Syahid Muhammad.
