Submission Description
This research aims to highlight the evolving role of women in pesantren as digital literacy improves. With advancements in technology, santriwati (female students) are gaining greater opportunities for engagement and productivity. The impact of technology is transforming many aspects of everyday life. This study employs a qualitative design and a digital ethnography approach to understand how Nyai and Ning (pesantren female leaders) empower santri through creative writing in the digital space. The research focuses on three key figures: Khilma Anis, Mambaul Athiya, and Mar'atul Makhmudah, as well as 15 actively writing santriwati. Utilizing Bourdieu's theories of habitus and capital, the findings indicate that Nyai and Ning have taken a leading role in writing activities within pesantren. This shift enhances their social and cultural influence, which was previously dominated by men's authority. As a result, women are contributing equally to the growth of pesantren rather than being solely led by men.
