This research conducted to review the linguistic stylistics that describes how women are presented in a text by using a feminist approach, that is, feminist stylistics. This research not only concentrates on the analysis of linguistic stylistics that discuss linguistic structure and how it affects the society, but also focuses on how the position of women as actors are presented in the text. This research also describes the difference of male and female author in how they represented the male and female characters in their short story. This research is a qualitative research. The object of this research is a short story written by male author Ernest Hemingway The Snow Of Kilimanjaro and a short story written by female author Charlotte Perkins Gilmans The Yellow WallPaper. The lexical that indicate gender-specific in these short story become the data of the research. The theory of feminist stylistics by Mills is used to analyze the data. The data analysis was conducted through four steps: (1) data collection, (2) data condensation, (3) data display, and (4) drawing and verifying conclusions. In this research, there are several tendencies for women or men to be associated with the text, in which several lexical items indicate gender-specific used only to refer to men in general. Women characters differ from men in that women are described in terms of their parts of body, while men are more likely to be described in terms of their overall appearance.This research found out that male author is likely to use many bad terms and negative connotations to the female characters in his short story, while the female author does not used many bad terms and negative connotations to describe both male or female characters in her short story. By working through these analyses in a systematic way, it may help the readers to track down the ways that text encode and present gender-specific in the text. It also help the readers to investigate the ways in which gender is dealt with in the society as a whole.
