Gender is a concept that differentiates women and men based on socio-cultural construction. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate gender representation through male and female characters in Baker’s Princess Between Worlds. The data were collected from the novel using qualitative descriptive and feminist methods. Furthermore, the depiction of the characters was analyzed from five key aspects of gender proposed by Oakley, namely dress, gestures, occupation, social networks, and personality. The analysis showed that the characters attempted to break away from traditional stereotypes, separating both genders into different classes. Baker also reflected values of equality, justice, and the recognition of broader gender identities
