The poetry collection of Woman Opposing
Corruption is the fifth book published by Poetry
Movement against Corruption (Gerakan Puisi
Menolak Korupsi, abreviated as PMK). Poetry often
become a means against injustice, corrupted
constitutional system and other social inequality
problems in terms of political and social contexts. For
example, there is W.S. Rendra who often criticized
the government of new era through his poetries. This
protested poetry can change political system (Srestha,
2000, p. 259) or can be used as an effective means for
uniting nation (Anedo: 2011: 281). Besides, poetry
still become a means to combat or at least to refuse
corruption.
There are three images of Angelina Sondakh
revealed, including (1) celebrity image; (2) politician
image; and (3) prisoner image. The begining of AS
celebrity image coincides with her success in being
elected as Putri Indonesia 2001. Having predicate as
the former of Putri Indonesia, her appearance and
ability can not be doubted. Her enchanted physical
appearance makes AS admired by male and female.
In the poetry entitled “Not as beautiful as Your Face”
(Tak Secantik Parasmu) and “Miss Angie: I Sent
Poetry to Chase Your Loneliness” (Mbak Angie:
Kukirim Puisi Untukmu Pengusir Sepi), celebrity
image of AS is clearly portrayed.
Paras cantik putri Indonesia / Bodi
seksi bukan hanya di mata kaum pria
(Ismail, 2015: p. 79)
Beautiful face of Beauty Peageant of
Indonesia / Sexy Body is not only on the
eyes of Men
Perempuan paruh baya itu / Dengan
senyum manis / Rambut lurus berkilat-
kilat / Cantik dan anggun penampilannya
(Halimatusyadiyah, 2015: p. 107)
That middle-aged woman / With sweat
smile / Shining straight hair / Beautiful and
classy appearance
Wajah ayu hidung mancung bathuk
kinong-kinong, kinclong pasrah / juga
matamu kuyu, memandang hakim satu
persatu: lemah (Rohmah, 2015: p. 146)
Beautiful face pointed nose, shiny
defencelessly / and your lusterless eyes,
looking at judges one after another: weak
The lines above show that AS is an idol. Her
physical perfection become the important point to
participate in politics. She was elected as the house of
legislative (DPR RI) member of Democratic party in
2004 and elected again for 2009 – 2014 period.
Moreover, she occupied the Vice of General
Secretary of party stewardship structure and Budget
Committee of the house of legislative. Her
participation in politics expectedly gives possitive
contribution, particularly in raising women prestige.
In addition, politician image is
discovered as the following “Violating
Princess” (Putri yang Terjerembab) poetry
lines.
Ketika kau naik tahta dalam arena
kekuasaan / Kebanggaan kaum perempuan
penuh harap / Bisa merubah citra menjadi
perempuan perkasa / Kau cerdas
berpendidikan tinggi basutan luar negeri
(Ismail, 2015: 79)
When you ascend the throne on the
power arena / The prestige of women is fully
expected / Able to change women image as
strong / you are smart, high educated
graduated from foreign country
The appearance of female politicians from
celebrities have definitely ever been doubted. People
assume that celebrities only rely on their popularities.
This stereotype indicates that there is only the small
number of female politicians who can be considered
capable and qualified in committing their roles. The
rest are only considered luck to be elected, or due to
popularity factor (Tresnawaty dan Astuti, 2015, p.
200). However, this stereotype doesn’t affect
Angelina Sondakh. She doesn’t participate in politics
due to her beauty. By publishing book entitled
Beauty, It not my Basis to Be Commission X of the
House of Legislative (Kecantikan, Bukan Modal
Utama Saya di Komisi X DPR-RI), she clarifies that
she becomes the house of legislative due to her
competence and professionalism.
Gender ideology strongly affects the number of
women in national legislatures (Paxton and
Kunovich, 2003). At least, the competence and
professionalism have been quite trustworthy. Female
politicians will get acknowledgement, strength,
bargaining value if they have quality, potential and
ability (Sulaiman, 2010, p. 69). In some cases, the
factors of appearance of female leader in politics
(politician) are patriarchy culture, family bonds,
martyrdom, social class, life style, historical context,
