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.
Coté translates the correspondence between Raden Ajeng Kartini,
Indonesia’s first feminist, and her sisters, revealing for the first
time her sisters’ contributions in defining and carrying out her ideals.
With this collection, Coté aims to situate Kartini’s sisters within the
more famous Kartini narrative–and indirectly to situate Kartini herself
within a broader narrative.
The letters reveal the emotional
lives of these modern women and their concerns for the welfare of their
husbands and the success of their children in rapidly changing times.
While by no means radical nationalists, and not yet extending their
horizons to the possibility of an Indonesian nation, these members of a
new middle class nevertheless confidently express their belief in their
own national identity.
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.
