R.A Kartini

If we do flash back for a while we’ll find a figure of a beautiful, charm, clever and brave woman, she is Raden Ajeng kartini. I really admire her. Her personality has influenced my personality. In this blog I would like to explain the reasons why I admire her.
First of all, She is one of the national hero. Her efforts to change the destiny of Indonesia traditional women was unbelievable. She was too brave to protest many rules that be limiting. Indonesia’s women to got equal right in education.
Secondly She is a charming and clever woman. Whwn kartini’s family allowed her to attend school until she was 12 years old. Here, among other subjects, She learnt to speak fluent dutch, an unusual accomplishment for Javanese woman and when She was ‘secluded’ at home, a common practice Javanese nobility, to prepare young girls for their marriage. Kartini continued to educate herself on her own during her seclusion
The last reason, kartini wasn’t proud of being set apart from her country people as one of the privileged few of the aristocracy. In her writing She described two types of nobility, one of mind and one of deed.
For Conclusion she is someone who I admire her. She is not only a feminist who struggle for status women in Indonesia but also a nationalist figure for independence.
