    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, she is the eldest daughter.

    R.A Kartini studied in the ELS 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 1903 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 women’s life with Indonesian women.
    European

    women live in freedom and they have the same equivalent position with men. While,

    Indonesia women lived under man’s power.

    Based on that fact, she had an idea to change Indonesian women’s 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 Kartini’s idea.

    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 Deventer’s family who is a political figures, opened Kartini’s 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.

    For her contribution, she was awarded as Indonesian national hero because of her ideas
    which

    improve Indonesian women level, on May 2, 1964.
