Review

This paper proposes to explore the significant role of R.A. Kartini in the emancipation of women in Indonesia, a topic of enduring relevance and historical importance. The abstract effectively introduces Kartini as a pivotal national figure whose efforts, particularly in the realm of education, continue to impact women's opportunities today. By framing the discussion around the pursuit of justice and equality for women, the paper situates Kartini's struggle within a broader discourse on feminism and societal imbalance. The stated interest in discussing her role is clear, setting a focused objective for the research. The methodology outlined is a "literacy study method" employing standard historical research steps: topic selection, heuristics, verification, interpretation, and historiography. While these steps are fundamental to historical inquiry, the abstract would benefit from a more specific indication of the types of "literacy" or historical sources that will be predominantly analyzed, beyond a general historical literature review. The stated findings confirm Kartini's crucial contribution to women's emancipation, specifically highlighting her focus on education, exemplified by the establishment of a “Girl's School” in Jepara. This outcome aligns directly with the paper's objective and underscores a key aspect of her legacy. Overall, the paper tackles a valuable subject, offering a historical perspective on women's rights in Indonesia through the lens of a revered national heroine. To enhance its scholarly impact, the authors might consider refining the initial definition of women's emancipation to be more nuanced, perhaps engaging with various feminist theoretical frameworks. Furthermore, while the focus on the Girl's School is pertinent, the abstract could clarify if the paper also delves into other significant aspects of Kartini's advocacy, such as her influential letters, which form a substantial part of her legacy and intellectual contribution to the cause. Such clarity would better define the scope and potential depth of the "literacy study" employed.
