R.A. KARTINI

History :

Kartini was born in Jepara, Central Java on 21 April 1879. Kartini or sometimes known as Raden Ajeng Kartini, because she was born an aristocratic Javanese family. When Java was part of the Dutch colony.

Kartini’s father, Sosroningrat, became regency chief of Jepara and her mother, Ngasirah.

Kartini’s family allowed her to attend school until she was 12 years old. Here, among other subjects she learnt to speak Dutch, an unusual accomplishment for Javanese women at the time. After she turned 12 years old, she was secluded at home, a common practice among Javanese nobility, to prepare young girls for their marriage.

Because she could speak Dutch, she acquired several Dutch pen friends. One of them, a girl by the name of Rosa Abendanon, became a close friend. Books, newspapers, and European maganizes fed Kartini’s interest in European feminist thinking and fostered the desire to improve the conditions of  Indigenious Indonesian women, who at the time had a ver low social status.

Kartini’s concerns were not only in the area of the emancipation of women, but also other problems of her society. Kartini saw thet the struggle for women to obtain thir freedom, autonomy and legal equality was just part of wider movement.

Kartini’s parents arranged her married to Joyodiningrat the Regency Chief of Rembang, who already had three wives.

She was married on the 12 November 1903. Her husband understood Kartini’s aims and allowed her to establish a school for women in the east porch of the Rembang Regency Office complex.

IBU

Ibu..Setiap langkahmu, kau tinggalkan jejak kasihmu
Setiap pelukmu, menebarkan kehangatan cinta
Tulusnya cintamu, seputih kasih yang abadi.
Ibu...Kau Malaikat hidupku
Yang setiap langkahmu, selalu teriring perjuanganmu
Membesarkanku, menjadikanku seseorang yang berarti

Ibu....

Kaulah cahaya yang lenyapkan gelapku

Kaulah api yang hangatkan dinginku

Kaulah air yang sejukkan panasku

Kaulah mentari yang terangkan petangku

Kaulah rembulan yang menjadi pahlawan malamku

Ibu.. kasihmu tulus tak perlu di tebus

Cintamu teduh tak butuh di sepuh

oamu sejuta lebih mustajab ketimbang doa seribu kekasih.

Terima kasih atas segalanya

Jasa Ibu akan selalu terkenang
