The novel represents ideology and reflects the author’s sociological knowledge and experience. The novels Ketika Cinta Bertasbih and Cinta Suci Zahrana represent Habiburrahman El Shirazy’s ideology, as well as reflect on his knowledge and experiences about education abroad (Egypt), Islamic boarding schools, and religious values. This paper aims to discuss the position and role of women as reflected in Habiburrahman El Shirazy’s novel Ketika Cinta Bertasbih and Cinta Suci Zahrana as a reflection of social reality. This research is a literature study with qualitative methods and descriptive analysis. The theoretical framework used is liberal feminism. The data analyzed is in the form of discourse in the two novels that focus on liberal feminism discourse. The study results show that the authors place women as subjects, not objects, in both novels. The author gives individual freedom and autonomy to female characters in determining their way of life, especially regarding the dimensions of education and spouse. The female character in Ketika Cinta Bertasbih, Anna Althafunnisa, was educated in Egypt, while her parents gave her son autonomy in choosing a mate. Anna can refuse Azzam’s proposal and choose the man she loves, Furqan. Meanwhile, the female character in Cinta Suci Zahrana, Dewi Zahrana, is also pursuing higher education and lecturing. Customary law requires women to marry. Therefore, the family gave Zahrana the freedom to choose a partner, although the choice ultimately fell on her own students. Based on the study of the two novels, it can be concluded that individual women have the freedom to fulfil reason, self-satisfaction, and individual autonomy. Intervention from the family and other external factors can be minimized so that women are free from the construction of an oppressive or unfair gender role. The findings of this study indicate that Habiburrahman El Shirazy can provide ideological criticism of the general perspective, which has so far been a public discourse that novels written by male authors about the world of Islamic boarding schools tend to perpetuate patriarchal ideas. Habiburrahman El Shirazy rejected patriarchal ideas because he gave women the freedom to follow the ideology of liberal feminism.
