    Raden Adjeng Kartini


    Raden Adjeng Kartini was born in Jepara on April 21,
    1879. She comes from a noble family. Her father, Raden Mas
    Adipati Ario Sosroningrat is a regent who governed Jepara at that
    time. While her mother, MA Ngasirah descended from the
    common people. Like the other children from noble descent in
    general, she lived in prosperity and strict Javanese rules. She is
    the 5th child of 11 brothers and sisters coming from her
    biological and stepmother. Among her siblings from her
    biological mother, she is the eldest daughter.
    R.A Kartini studied in the ELS School (Europese Lagere
    School). She studied Dutch language there, so that she could
    speak Dutch language very well.
    When she was 12 years old, she had to quit studying
    because she had to do pingit at that time, a rule of Javanese
    custom that forbid woman to go outside before marriage. Finally, on 12th November 1983 she
    was married to Raden Adipati Joyodiningrat.
    After getting married, R.A Kartini never stopped learning. She continued to study in her
    own house by reading a lot of European books and magazines. When she was reading them, she
    found a great difference between European womens life with Indonesian women. European
    women live in freedom and they have the same equivalent position with men. While, Indonesia
    women lived under mans power.
    Based on that fact, she had an idea to change Indonesian womens life. She along with
    her friends opened the first school for women in Indonesia in 1912 in Semarang. They taught
    Indonesian women how to read and write, so that they could come out of ignorance.
    In addition to teaching, she also wrote letters to her friends in the Netherlands. One of
    them is Rosa Abendanon which strongly supported Kartinis idea. She also often wrote to the
    Dutch womens magazine De Hollandsche Lelie several times.
    Thanks to her efforts, many women schools were built in other areas such as in Surabaya,
    Yogyakarta, Malang, Madiun, and Cirebon. Moreover, there was also Kartini Foundation,
    founded by Van Deventers family who is a political figures, opened Kartinis School.
    On 17th September 1904, RA Kartini died after giving birth to her son named RM
    Soesalit. She was 25 years old at that time. Although she had passed away, her spirit and brilliant

    ideas remain alive and inspire Indonesian women to continue the struggle to make her dream
    comes true.
    Even her spirit made a Dutch figure, Mr.JH Abendanon, compiled and published her
    letters sent to her friends in Europe entitle Duisternis DOOR TOT Licht, which means
    Through Darkness to Light. For her contribution, she was awarded as Indonesian national hero
    because of her ideas which improve Indonesian women level, on May 2, 1964.
