This book dicusses the national, regional, and transnational appropriations of Kartini - a young Javanese woman who lived in Jepara, Central Java, between 1879 and 1904. She 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.
