Hannah Arendt political concept subsequently is applied to be adopted as a political strategy to fight for political equality of women in Indonesia. Concept, form of implementation, and women’s political strategy is analyzed through library research by using the typical elements of philosophical research; interpretation, deduction and induction, historical continuity, idealization, heuristics, and inclusive language. By using the typical elements of philosophical research, it is found that the source of women political thought is
