The documents in these collections form an integral basis for understanding the life and ideas of Raden Ajeng Kartini (1879-1904). Kartini's letters, which are kept in Dutch institutions, represent the source and foundation of her ideas, while the impact of those letters on education, emancipation and the struggle for gender equality can be found in the Kartini archive in Indonesia.
Already during her short lifetime until the present day, Kartini has been a major inspirational force in Indonesian and international debates on education, feminism, and gender equality
