The study used qualitative descriptive method, the data in the forms of words, phrases, or sentences denoting sexism expression have been taken from the English novel The 19th Wife and its Indonesian translation, Istri ke-19. Based on the sampling data that has been analyze, the results show that the sexism expression related to hostile and benevolent were translated into overlexicalized.
