This study used a literary descriptive method for female farmers and family economic resilience. This study explains how women farmers strengthen the economic resilience of their families. In this study, it was found that women are proven to provide a large contribution to the sustainability of the economy and the welfare of households and communities. If the family is prosperous, there will be great potential for increasing family resilience. The economic resilience of the family will of course affect psychological resilience and social resilience. Women in family economic resilience are an integral part of national development, as well as in the economic sector women equally have a share in family income. It is fitting that women are no longer numbered in the effort to fulfill the family economy. Women and men must help each other to create economic resilience in the family.

INTRODUCTION A number of studies have shown that development efforts exacerbate women's workloads and at the same time reduce the share of household resources that they have control over. As a result, women and those who depend on them remain the most economically vulnerable groups in developing countries [1]. The dual role of women farmers is very strategic in efforts to increase farm productivity and family income as well as food security [2]. Women are those who have access to and control over home maintenance activities'. Women also have better understanding in managing the household, managing daily living costs, understanding the conditions and needs of space in the house as well as the facilities and infrastructure needed in their housing environment [3]. The role of women in farming families is also related to protecting and maintaining the environment, especially the environment around the family, encouraging farmers to behave as survival farmers to meet their needs. So the problem faced by farmers is how to generate sufficient income to meet the food needs of the family and to buy other necessities that lead to the perceived welfare of the farmers. The essence of women's empowerment is the enhancement of rights, obligations, position, abilities, roles, opportunities, independence, mental and spiritual resilience of women as an integral part of efforts to improve the quality of human resources [4]. So far, women are known to have a tendency towards multitasking, namely being able to do several things at the same time. This attitude is actually one of the advantages for women compared to men, but also at the same time results in weakness. With this multitasking attitude, a lot of work that can be done in a short time, for example in household chores starting from cleaning the house, taking care of children, preparing food, can be done quickly. However, the effect of this attitude is that it tends to result in suboptimal work results, is not focused, and is hasty in doing work. It is not surprising that development scientists generally view women as playing an important role in the development drama. The analysis of women's roles can be carried out from the perspective of their position in dealing with indirect (domestic) productive work and direct (public) productive work [4]. Feminist spirit has provided openness for women to work in the public sphere. However, in its application, women's rights are violated, female employees are exploited and do not comply with regulations issued by the government. With these conditions, many women workers experience oppression, exploitation and unpleasant treatment. Many women experienced layoffs and resigned because of these conditions. Therefore, other efforts are needed to make women remain independent and have income and work or carry out self-actualization. The presence of
