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. Kartini was a pioneer in advocating for women's education and empowerment in Indonesia, and her letters provide a glimpse into the struggles and triumphs of a young woman growing up in a society where women were traditionally confined to the domestic sphere. The letters touch on a range of topics, from Kartini's own education and experiences to her thoughts on marriage, motherhood, and the role of women in society. The book offers a unique perspective on Indonesian history and culture, as well as the broader themes of gender and identity.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.
