R.A Kartini
Kartini
was born on 21 April 1879 in Jepara. She was a leading feminist of women
emancipation in Indonesia. Her father was an assistant for the district chief
of the city. Her first dream was becoming like her mother, working hard for
others. She went to a Dutch school but when she was 12 years old her father
prohibited her from continuing her studies because of the tradition - a noble
girl was not allowed to have a higher education, they had to be secluded.
Ibu
Kartini was very concerned because of education in Indonesia especially for
women. Because of her concerns, she found a school only for women in Indonesia.
She
sometimes discussed the issues together with a Dutch couple, the Ovinks. They
were amazed with Kartini's fluency in Dutch. Kartini had a book to read from
Mrs. Ovink and started to correspond with people in the Netherlands. In her
letter to her pen friends, Kartini always discussed feminist matters and
revealed her dream of equality between men and women in Indonesia. Kartini
insisted that she continue her studies although her father was against it.
Finally Kartini wrote a letter to the Education and Culture Director, Mr.
Abendanon, who sent her a very promising reply. Kartini married a regent and
moved to Rembang in 1903 in Central Java. She wrote a book called "Habis
Gelap Terbitlah Terang" (Through Darkness to Light) which consists of the
collection of her letters to her friends. She passed away in November 1904
while giving birth to her first son.
