This study aims to reveal the phenomenon of social-cultural facts of Bugis women as subalterns in the short story “Ketika Saatnya", written by Darmawati Majid. The problem in this research is "how do the third-world women narrate in Darmawati’s Ketika Saatnya?". This study uses the subaltern theory by Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak. The term subaltern refers to a population that is socially, politically, and geographically subdued by a group that controls them. A subaltern is a group whose voice is always represented and becomes a tool of a hegemonic practice that symbolizes political, military, social, and even cultural domination by one group over another. The study reveals that the position of women as subalterns is narrated as a subaltern group trying to convey their voice to be heard even though they occupy a position as “third-world women” who are trapped between tradition and modernization.
