Third Person	R.A. Kartini
Her Biography	Raden Adjeng Kartini was a Javanese noblewoman best known as a pioneer in the area of women's rights for native Indonesians. Kartini was born on April 21, 1879, to a noble family in the village of Mayong, Java, Indonesia. Ngasirah, Kartini's mother, was the daughter of a religious scholar. Sosroningrat, her father, was a Javanese aristocrat who worked for the Dutch colonial government. Kartini was able to attend a Dutch school at the age of six as a result of this. The school introduced her to Western ideals. Kartini also took sewing lessons from another regent's wife, Mrs. Marie Ovink-Soer, during this time. Ovink-Soer imparted her feminist views to Kartini, thereby laying the groundwork for Kartini's later activism. Kartini wrote letters to Ovink-Soer and her Dutch classmates, protesting the gender inequality of Javanese traditions such as forced marriages at a young age, which denied women the right to an education. With her husband's approval, Kartini set about planning her own school for Javanese girls in order to spread her feminist message. With the assistance of the Dutch government, she established the first Indonesian primary school for native girls in 1903, which did not discriminate on the basis of social status. Kartini died on September 17, 1904, at the age of 25, in the regency of Rembang, Java, of complications from the birth of her first child. Seven years after her death, one of her correspondents, Jacques H. Abendanon, published "From Darkness to Light: Thoughts About and on Behalf of the Javanese People," a collection of Kartini's letters. Kartini Day is still celebrated on Kartini's birthday in Indonesia.
