What is the effect of Ra Kartini's struggle for women today?

As you Know, The young woman stood on a stage in a dimly lit room. In her hands were letters written more than 100 years ago. Accompanied by acoustic guitar and violin, university student Winner Fransisca read excerpts from a letter written by Kartini, an Indonesian heroine, in May 1899 to a penpal in the Netherlands.Activists, academics and artists on Thursday read Kartini’s letters to remember her ideas that inspired the women’s emancipation movement in Indonesia. Kartini, usually referred to by her title Raden Ajeng, was born into an aristocratic Javanese family on April 21, 1879. Her father was a district head of Jepara in Central Java. Her mother was his father’s first wife. During the Dutch colonial era, polygamy was a common practice. Her father being a Javanese aristocrat working for the colonial administration, Kartini had the privilege to attend school, which exposed her to Western ideas and feminist thinking. She was fluent in Dutch, an unusual accomplishment for Javanese women at the time.

Kartini attended school until the age of 12. Under the old Javanese tradition, she was secluded at home to prepare for marriage. During this seclusion period, she wrote letters to her friends abroad. The letters were compiled into a book called “Habis Gelap Terbitlah Terang” (“Out of Darkness Into Light”) and published posthumously. In 1964, she was declared an Indonesian national heroine by President Sukarno and her birthday was subsequently named Kartini Day, which is celebrated annually.
