Abstract

Kalang is a Javanese sub-ethnic within the Kalang
tradition, which is an acculturation of ancient Javanese culture
with Hindu culture coming from India. In everyday life, the
Kalang women as a mother have a central role in the household
activity of being responsible to the husband and children’s well
being. This cultural acculturation still exists in the lives of the
Kalang people in Kendal, Central Java, Indonesia. In tradition,
Kalang women have power in her position as a housewife, not in
using her physical strenght, but to demonstrate the ability to think,
manage time and control emotions in carrying out the three
household activities of 1) domestic, 2) tradition, and 3) social
activity. In today's modern era, gender equality becomes the
central talk of how the Kalang society places women within a
family that is judged not through the material she obtains, but by
her responsibilities.. Through a deductive paradigm with
ethnographic techniques, the research finds how powerful a
mother is in managing the family. because she succeeded in
showing her role as head of the family, thus perfecting the role of
men also as breadwinner, and in making her family life stable by
continuously upholding the Kalang tradition.
