The book also includes an introduction by the editor, who provides historical context and background information on Kartini's life and work. Overall, Letters of a Javanese Princess is a powerful testament to the strength and determination of a woman who dared to challenge the status quo and fight for her rights and those of other women.Translated From The Original Dutch By Agnes Louise Symmers With A Foreword By Louis Couperus.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
