Letters Of A Javanese Princess - Raden Adjeng Kartini - Bog

""Letters of a Javanese Princess"" is a collection of letters written by Kartini, a Javanese princess, to her friends and family in the late 19th century. The letters were originally written in Dutch and were translated into English by Agnes Louise Symmers. The book provides a unique insight into the life of a Javanese woman during a time when women's rights were severely restricted. Kartini's letters discuss her struggles to receive an education and her desire to break free from traditional Javanese customs such as arranged marriages. She also writes about her dreams for the future and her hope for a more equal society. The book is a fascinating look at a woman who challenged societal norms and fought for women's rights in a time when it was not widely accepted.Translated From The Original Dutch By Agnes Louise Symmers With A Foreword By Louis Couperus.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
