Abstract

The oppression of women in their pursuit of justice is a longstanding phenomenon that continues to generate public controversy. This issue is portrayed in Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri, a film about a mother’s struggle to obtain justice for the murder of her daughter. The study examines contradictions and conflicts surrounding law enforcement as expressions of capital formation and class domination. It applies feminist theory and muted group theory through Norman Fairclough’s critical discourse analysis. The analysis of representation, relations, and identity reveals domination over women in obtaining legal justice. The film presents liberal feminist representation alongside a Marxist feminist ideology that positions women as part of the proletariat and emphasizes women’s emancipation in pursuing gender equality and legal justice.
