The analysis discusses the events that occurred before, after, during the arrival of whites in Australia and the monopolization of Aboriginal tribes' native territories also the oppression from white experienced by Aboriginal Women. It contributes to the analyzing process by aiding in the meaning's revelation. This study's data is based on women agency theory within feminist theory, which examines women and the acts of aboriginal people that come from the analysis, specifically women's empowerment against white. The purposes of this analysis are to show oppressions experienced by the Aboriginal female characters in the novel Women of the Sun and to show how the Aboriginal female characters in the novel Women of The Sun empower themselves to face the oppression imposed on them. The results of this thesis research are territorial control, whitening, and violence perpetrated by white people against Aboriginal women and self-empowerment by Aboriginal women through education, career, and at home.
