Abstract

This study examines the representation of female identity in L.M. Montgomery's novel "Anne of Green Gables" (1908), focusing on the main character, Anne Shirley. Titled "Beyond the Stereotypes: Anne Shirley's Representation of Female in Children's Literature," this study aims to examine how Anne's character is portrayed beyond traditional gender stereotypes in children's literature in the early 20th century. This study employed a qualitative method with a close reading approach. Data analysis was conducted through narrative analysis, content analysis, and a new historicism approach. The theories used included Children's Literature theory, Judith Butler's Gender Performativity theory, and Gérard Genette's narratological theory to examines how Anne's actions, speech, and narrative position reflect resistance to social norms of her time.The results show that Anne Shirley is represent as an active, imaginative, and proactive female character. She frequently exhibits behaviors that contradict social expectations for women in the Edwardian era, such as assertive speech, and courageous expression of opinion. These representations demonstrate gender performances that differ from typical constructions of femininity, making Anne an alternative symbol of female identity in children's literature. Anne appears as a character who plays gender in a different way, reflecting a more passionate form of female identity that challenge the prevailing social expectations of the time. Keywords: Anne Shirley, Children’s Literature, Feminism, GenderRoles, Gender Performativity.
