Abstract
This research, entitled An Analysis of Patriarchy in Colonialism in the Film "The Woman King" (2022): A Feminist Study, aims to examine the representation of patriarchal practices within the context of colonialism as portrayed in the film. The study highlights how both antagonistic and protagonistic characters embody and negotiate patriarchal dominance, where women’s bodies, roles, and identities
are often situated within systems of male control and colonial exploitation. Using Marxist feminist theory as the analytical framework and descriptive qualitative methods, the research identifies three strands of feminism reflected in the film:patriarchal feminism, social-class feminism, and anti-capitalist feminism. These strands emerge through the depiction of women warriors resisting oppression, the
class-based hierarchies between the kingdom and enslaved individuals, and the critique of capitalist exploitation through the transatlantic slave trade. These findings further reveal the powerful influence of power and domination, illustrating how patriarchal and colonial structures intersect to maintain gender oppression. The film demonstrates that patriarchy is not only enforced through
traditional gender roles in the Kingdom of Dahomey, but is also reinforced by colonial powers that exploit both men and women for economic gain. Through this perspective, the narrative challenges the audience to recognize that the
struggle against colonialism is inseparable from the struggle against patriarchy. This critical review concludes that The Woman King functions as both a cultural text and a political statement, revealing how systems of domination operate while offering a vision of resistance, solidarity, and female agency.
