I got this book from special person. I don’t like usual to
read book about woman. I have ever read Prmudia’s book, but finally stopped because setting of book like font, language
style, actually it all make me eyesore. I try to read this book because the
first is gift, and the second is famous book which its title is well known, but
sure not many people what its real book look like. This can be suggestions to
many woman in Indonesia that this book gave real meaning of emancipate. Mrs. Kartini was struggle through her mind
during her young age, and Start to run in society when she was adult. Mrs.
Kartini’s mind was b orn because social conditions at that time, Holland’s
government proudly prevent Indonesian people are to be clever. Education was
limited, only for children or teenagers from “Priyayi” or government official.
Actually, Kartini came from regent family, but keep hold Javanese cultural that
prevent her to study, because must be prisoned until marriage age. My honorable
was when found that in this book wrote Kartini didn’t stop
to study how bulid their social. She have critical and open mind and this also
was been added with her books about western education most. She wants to reduce
what good from other cultural into Indonesian social at that time, but keep
good cultural of own Indonesian. You must read this book, so you are not wrong
how to explain emancipate based our cultural, and how to be clever woman.
