| In Indonesia, the legacy of Raden Ajeng Kartini (1879â 1904) is celebrated on Kartini Day, 21 April, every year. Around the world Kartini is recognised as a major figure in the history of the advancement of women, a tireless and effective advocate of womenâ s education and emancipation. However, this is the first complete and unexpurgated collection of Kartiniâ s published articles, memoranda and correspondence ever published in any language. This collection reveals Kartiniâ s importance as a pioneer of the Indonesian nationalist movement. Claiming in her letters and petitions her peopleâ s right to national autonomy well before her male compatriots did so publicly, Kartini used her writing in an attempt to educate the Netherlands and Dutch colonialists about Java and the aspirations of its people. Had she lived longer, she would have been one of Indonesiaâ s leading pre-independence writers as well as an educationalist. In 1964 she was elevated to the status of national hero by Indonesiaâ s first president, Sukarno. She has become one of the most well known Asian figures in the international womenâ s movement. The product of several decadesâ study and based on archival sources, Kartini is extensively annotated and provided with an authoritative historical introduction by one of the worldâ s leading Kartini authorities. This work will be the essential resource for scholars and students of Kartini and her place in Indonesian history, around the world, for many years to come. |
