Abstract
This article aims to study and analyze violence, especially rape, against the female character in The Surgeon, a contemporary American detective novel written by Tess Gerritsen. The result of the study shows that the writer presents not only the physical violence, but also the psychological trauma suffered by the rape survivor. She depicts the victimization of the female character overcome by her traumatic past produced through weakness, helplessness and terror and at the same time who rebuilds self-esteem and becomes ready to fight against the criminal to protect herself. The selected American detective novel reveals that victimization of violence is the result of gender differences in patriarchy, a social system in which men have more power than women. But the changes of the female character also represent the social change in which women retaliate against patriarchal oppression.
