About RA Kartini

RA Kartini is famous Indonesian heroine of woman education and emancipation.

Jean Taylor wrote:¹

Kartini was a product of this historical change. She was one of the first Indonesian girls ever to enter a primary school for Europeans (ca. 1885-91), and her European friends were trekkers, not members of the old Indies' Dutch community. By the early 1900's she had become known to a small circle of liberal Dutchmen and Javanese aristocrats through her articles in Dutch-language journals and through her open confrontation with Javanese tradition. Yet Slingenberg's request was extraordinary. No woman's opinion had ever been sought by the colonial government. At the same time it was in keeping with the Javanese tradition of sequestering single women of the upper classes that Slingenberg's questions were conveyed to Kartini indirectly, through Annie Glaser, a former schoolteacher in Japara.
