BIOGRAPHY of RADEN ADJENG KARTINI Raden Adjeng Kartini was born to a noble family on April 21, 1879, in Mayong, Indonesia. Kartini's mother, Ngasirah, was the daughter of a religious scholar. Her father, Sosroningrat, was a Javanese aristocrat working for the Dutch colonial government. This afforded Kartini the opportunity to go to a Dutch school, at the age of 6. When Kartini reached adolescence, Javanese tradition dictated that she leave her Dutch school for the sheltered existence deemed appropriate to a young female noble. The school opened her eyes to Western ideals. During this time, Kartini also took sewing lessons from another regent's wife, Mrs. Marie Ovink-Soer. Ovink-Soer imparted her feminist views to Kartini, and was therefore instrumental in planting the seed for Kartini's later activism Struggling to adapt to isolation, Kartini wrote letters to Ovink-Soer and her Dutch schoolmates, protesting the gender inequality of Javanese traditions such as forced marriages at a young age, which denied women the freedom to pursue an education. Ironically, in her eagerness to escape her isolation, Kartini was quick to accept a marriage proposal arranged by her father. On November 8, 1903, she wed the regent of Rembang, Raden Adipati Joyodiningrat. Joyodiningrat was 26 years older than Kartini, and already had three wives and 12 children. Kartini had recently been offered a scholarship to study abroad, and the marriage dashed her hopes of accepting it. According to Javanese tradition, at 24 she was too old to expect to marry well. Intent on spreading her feminist message, with her new husband's approval, Kartini soon set about planning to start her own school for Javanese girls. With help from the Dutch government, in 1903 she opened the first Indonesian primary school for native girls that did not discriminate on the basis of their social status. The school was set up inside her father's home, and taught

Habis Gelap Terbitlah Terang
Kartini Ingin Menjadi Muslimah Sejati
Pada masa kecilnya, Kartini mempunyai pengalaman yang tidak menyenangkan ketika belajar mengaji (membaca Al-Quran). Ibu guru mengajinya memarahi beliau ketika Kartini menanyakan makna dari kata-kata Al-Quran yang diajarkan kepadanya untuk membacanya. Sejak saat itu timbullah penolakan pada diri Kartini.
"Mengenai agamaku Islam, Stella, aku harus menceritakan apa? Agama Islam melarang umatnya mendiskusikannya dengan umat agama lain. Lagi pula sebenarnya agamaku karena nenek moyangku Islam. Bagaimana aku dapat mencintai agamaku, kalau aku tidak mengerti, tidak boleh memahaminya? Al-Quran terlalu suci, tidak boleh diterjemahkan kedalam bahasa apa pun. Di sini tidak ada orang yang mengerti bahasa Arab. Di sini orang diajar membaca Al-Quran tetapi tidak mengerti apa yang dibacanya. Kupikir, pekerjaan orang gilakah, orang diajar membaca tapi tidak diajar makna yang dibacanya itu. Sama saja halnya seperti engkau mengajarkan aku buku bahasa Inggris, aku harus hafal kata demi kata, tetapi tidak satu patah kata pun yang kau jelaskan kepadaku apa artinya. Tidak jadi orang sholeh pun tidak apa-apa, asalkan jadi orang yang baik hati, bukankah begitu Stella?" [ Surat Kartini kepada Stella, 6 November 1899]
"Dan waktu itu aku tidak mau lagi melakukan hal-hal yang tidak tahu apa perlunya dan apa manfaatnya. Aku tidak mau lagi membaca Al-Quran, belajar menghafal perumpamaan-perumpamaan dengan bahasa asing yang tidak aku mengerti artinya, dan jangan-jangan guru-guruku pun tidak mengerti artinya. Katakanlah kepadaku apa artinya, nanti aku akan mempelajari apa saja. Aku berdosa, kitab yang mulia itu terlalu suci sehingga kami tidak boleh mengerti apa artinya. [ Surat Kartini kepada E.E. Abendanon, 15 Agustus 1902]

Raden Adjeng Kartini, also known as Raden Ayu Kartini (21 April 1879 – 17 September 1904), was a prominent Indonesian activist who advocated for women's rights and female education.
She was born into an aristocratic Javanese family in the Dutch East Indies (present-day Indonesia). After attending a Dutch-language primary school, she wanted to pursue further education, but Javanese women at the time were barred from higher education. Instead, Kartini entered a period of seclusion mandated for teenage girls until they married. She acquired knowledge by reading books and by corresponding with Indonesian and Dutch people. Her father allowed her to go into the community beginning in 1896, although she remained an unmarried single woman.
She met various officials and influential people, including J.H. Abendanon. She began the tradition amongst three of her sisters to found and operate schools. After she died, schools were established by a foundation founded in the Netherlands. Some of her Indonesian friends also established Kartini Schools.
After her death, her sisters continued her advocacy of educating girls and women. Kartini's letters were published in a Dutch magazine and eventually, in 1911, as the works: Door Duisternis tot Licht (From Dark Comes Light) and an English version, Letters of a Javanese Princess. Her birthday is now celebrated in Indonesia
