Abstract

This research aims to discuss the problems raised from Kartini magazine's rubric "Oh Mama Oh Papa". It illustrates testimonial narratives chiefly about women abused by patriarchal men and reflects how patriarchy hands more advantages to men. It is treacherous because women have the capability to become mother. They are the ones with the privilege to educate the next generation. A patriarchal oppression may impede the notion of motherhood. Therefore the issue that will be conversed is the relation between patriarchy and the act of mothering and its impact on the notion of motherhood. In examining the problem, the writer uses a qualitative method by elaborating events and conflicts in "Oh Mama Oh Papa". In addition the writer applies feminist theory related with mothering and the theory of domestic violence and its effects. The analysis finds that patriarchy subjugates the act of mothering through the myths of motherhood, mother blaming, the double burdens of working mothers and alienation of women. Furthermore, the patriarchal abuse might lead into trauma that amends the mothering pattern. It could fortify the bond between mother-children, since they are both victim of patriarchy, but it could also weaken the mother-children bond. It emerges because a traumatized mother is unconsciously conveying her trauma onto her children
