equal rights between women and men, especially in education. Kartini came from
a Javanese aristocratic family. Her father was Raden Mas Adipati Ario

the opportunity to attend ELS (Europese Lagere School) until the age of 12.

undergo seclusion, a period during which women were not allowed to leave the
house until marriage. During her seclusion, Kartini continued to study. She
read numerous books, magazines, and newspapers from Europe. This sparked her
ideas about the importance of education for women and her desire to advance
women's rights in Indonesia. Kartini also actively wrote letters to her friends
in the Netherlands. In these letters, she expressed ideas about: Gender
