R.A. Kartini is a figure of Women Emancipation in Indonesia. Usually, in April 21st, many women and school girl will wear kebaya, national costume for Indonesian women in doing their activity to honor Kartini's agony to fight for women's right in education. Thanks to her, now I can enjoy the same right and education along with men :D :D Symbolismn that only Indonesian might understand : The sharpened bamboo was a famous traditional weapon used by our ancestry to fight colonizer. it represent the strength and willpower of Indonesian fighter to gain freedom. The oil-lantern represent the light of hope. Red in the flag stands for courage and blood of the soldiers, white is for the holiness and bones. The paper with writing is for the education that Kartini brought for women.
