- Summary
- "This book examines women's activism in the early years of independent Indonesia when new attitudes to gender, nationalism, citizenship and democratization were forming. It questions the meaning of democratization for women and their relationship to national sovereignty within the new Indonesian state. Among other things, this work discusses women's organizations and their activities; women's social and economic roles; and different cultural, regional and ethnic attitudes towards women."--BOOK JACKET.
