| Abstract | : | In the first chapter of their edited book Appropriating Kartini, Paul Bijl, a Dutch historian based in Utrecht, and Grace V. S. Chin, a feminist historian at University Sains Malaysia, introduce the national, regional, and transnational appropriations of Kartini – a young Javanese woman who lived in Jepara, Central Java, between 1879 and 1904. As they indicate, today Kartini is recognised internationally as an iconic feminist and nationalist Indonesian figure and is, after Anne Frank, the most widely-read and influential, (originally) Dutch-language author worldwide in the 20th and 21st centuries. Since 1911, her letters, first published in Dutch as Door Duisternis tot Licht (lit. Through Darkness to Light), have been translated into numerous languages including French, Russian, Japanese, Javanese, Sundanese, and Arabic. Several versions of Indonesian and English translations also exist. In the 1960s, a republication of the first 1920 English-language translation of a selection of her writings was included in the UNESCO Collection of Representative Works. |
