Letters of a Javanese Princess by Raden Adjeng Kartini
"Letters of a Javanese Princess" by Raden Adjeng Kartini is a collection of letters written between 1899 and 1904. These Dutch-language letters reveal Kartini's thoughts on colonial politics, culture, and modern life as an aristocratic Javanese woman seeking education and change. Published posthumously in 1911, the correspondence became a powerful symbol for both Dutch colonial reformers and Indonesian nationalists. Her words sparked controversy and inspiration across cultures, though her original voice was
heavily edited and shaped by different audiences with competing visions for her legacy. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
