| Raden Ayu Kartini |
Those who do not dare will not win the world.
Kartini (1879-1904) was a pioneer in the area of women's rights for native Indonesians, and a number of schools for women have been established in her name (including one in Surabaya). Kartini was also a nationalist figure, with new ideas who worked on behalf of her people in the national struggle for independence from the Dutch (although she never took up arms against the colonisers). Kartini's birth date (21 April) is celebrated as 'Kartini Day' - an Indonesian national holiday - and the women staff at school wear beautiful clothes in her honour.
