R. A. Kartini
Raden Ajeng Kartini is a Javanese leading figure and the national hero of indonesia. Kartini is known as the pioneer of resurgence of indegenous women. Kartini was born in Jepara, April 21st, 1879. She was the child of a noble that still obeyed the nation’s customs and traditions. Kartini was the daughter of R.M Sosroningrat with M.A. Ngasirah. The colonial regulation at that time required that a regent must marry a noble. Because M.A. Ngasirah was not a noble, Kartini’s father married again with Raden Ajeng Woerjan (Moerjam), a direct descendant of Raja Madura. After the marriage, Kartini’s father was appointed to be a regent in Jepara.
After she was 12 years old, she had to live in the house and be kept in seclusion. Kartini was very sad about this. She wanted to oppose this, but she was scared because she was frightened that she would be regarded as a rebellious child. To forget her sadness, she gathered textbooks and other science books and she read them in the garden, while being accompanied by her servant. Finally, reading became her hobby and she didn’t go a day without reading. She read all the books and the newspaper. If she had difficulty in understanding books or newspaper, she always asked her father for an explanation.
Kartini was married with Raden Adipati Joyodiningrat on November 12th, 1903. After she was married, she went with her husband to Rembang.
The first and last child of Kartinin and her husband, RM Soesalit, was born on September 13th, 1904. Several days after the birth of her son, on September 17th, 1904, Kartini died at the age of 25. Kartini was buried in Desa Bulu, Kecamatan Bulu, Rembang.
