Indonesia remembers 21 April as the birthday of Raden Ajeng Kartini (1879-1904), former leader of the country's women's rights emancipation in education. During the short span of her life, the princess wrote to her friends in Holland on the betterment of her fellow womenfolk's education. These letters were compiled into a book entitled Habis Gelap Terbitlah Terang (Letters of a Javanese Princess) and a song was written in her memory. On this day, women's groups and schools organize special activities such as seminars and national-dress competitions. Kids and teenagers can be seen flaunting traditional costumes from all over Indonesia.NYC Best Hotel Deals: 50% Savings In New York!
