Summary: "Letters of a Javanese Princess" by Raden Adjeng Kartini is a collection of personal letters written during the late 19th century. The letters provide a voice to Kartini, the daughter of a Javanese regent, as she expresses her desires for personal freedom, education, and women's rights against the backdrop of traditional constraints and colonial rule. The work sheds light on the struggles of women in Javanese society and represents an early feminist perspective from an Eastern context. At the start of the collection, Kartini fervently discusses her yearning for liberation from societal confines and the ancient traditions that dictate her life. As the eldest daughter in a prominent family, she finds herself trapped in the oppressive customs that limit the education and autonomy of women. With a sense of rebellion, she reflects on her aspirations to study and educate others, particularly young girls, while grappling with the expectations of an arranged marriage. The compelling tone of her letters paints a poignant picture of her internal conflict between her familial love and her longing for independence, providing each reader with the sincere emotions and struggles of a pioneering spirit in Java.
