Abstract

This study aims to explain the strength and leadership of women in order to maintain their living space. In addition, this study aims to portray the concept of nature conservation through water, soil, and earth that fought relentlessly to reject the establishment of the Indonesian Cement factory in the village Tegaldwo and Timbran- gan, District Gunem, Rembang. An environmental issue in Rem- bang is important to be discussed in deep scale. In the deep discuss area, we can look at the exploitation of natural resources massively without seeing the objective conditions around it. Permition for the establishment of a cement factory given by the district government of Rembang to PT. Semen Indonesia did not consider the existence of citizens who depend on the region. Licensing mine will certainly undermine the determination of the mountains of North Kendeng and Cekungan Air Tanah (CAT) Watuputih in the conservation area. This research used a critical research method and analyzed with leadership and ecofeminism theory. Plans to build a cement factory were the beginning of the social problems that existed in rural areas and Tegalombo Krembangan. This caused rejection ac- tion undertaken by the majority of women and mothers who worked as peasants. The rejection action was an effort to save the environ- ment in the region of CAT Watuputih.
