- Summary:
-
"Realizing the Dream of R. A. Kartini: Her Sisters' Letters from Colonial Java presents a unique collection of documents reflecting the lives, attitudes, and politics of four Javanese women in the early twentieth century. The letters of Raden Ajeng Kartini, Indonesia's first feminist, have been a vital testament to her vision since the first selection of them was published in 1911, seven years after Kartini's tragic death. Now Joost Cote's translation of her sisters' letters reveals for the first time the contributions of Rockmini, Kardinah, Kartinah, and Soematri in defining and carrying out Kartini's ideals. With this collection, Cote aims to situate Kartini's sisters within the more famous Kartini narrative - and indirectly to situate Kartini herself within a broader narrative."
"Realizing the Dream of R. A. Kartini is essential reading for scholars of Indonesian history, providing documentary evidence of the culture of modern, urban Java in the late colonial era and an insight into the ferment of the Indonesian nationalist movement in which these women and their husbands played representative roles."--BOOK JACKET.
