Realizing the Dream of R. A. Kartini - Her Sister's Letters from Colonial Java

"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. Joost J. Cote translates the correspondence between Raden Ajeng Kartini, Indonesias first feminist, and her sisters, revealing for the first time her sisters contributions in defining and carrying out her ideals. With this collection, Cote aims to situate Kartinis 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.
