Letters of a Javanese Princess by Raden Adjeng Kartini

4.0

It was a very interesting read, though a bit repetitive through the middle. Kartini's push for education for girls, her critic of the Javanese culture, and a lot of questions about the glorification of the colonizers, and their "open-minded" culture, while faced with their racism and destruction in your own land. The letters read as a continuous search for answers, sadly Kartini died at the age of 25, four days after childbirth.
