Publisher's Synopsis

Letters of a Javanese Princess is a collection of letters written by Raden Adjeng Kartini, a Javanese princess, to her friends and family in the late 19th century. The letters provide a unique insight into the life and struggles of a young woman in a traditional Javanese society, where women were expected to be submissive and obedient to men. Kartini's letters reveal her desire for education and independence, and her efforts to break free from the restrictions imposed on her by her culture and religion. The book also includes an introduction by the editor, who provides historical context and background information on Kartini's life and work. Overall, Letters of a Javanese Princess is a powerful testament to the strength and determination of a woman who dared to challenge the status quo and fight for her rights and those of other women.Translated From The Original Dutch By Agnes Louise Symmers With A Foreword By Louis Couperus.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
