PAMERAN WANITA DARI MASA KE MASA (WOMEN THROUGHOUT THE AGES)

Author: Suwati Kartiwa, 1986. 106pgs. (Indonesian). Softcover. Catalog
Publisher: Museum Nasional Jakarta

This catalog illuminates the evolving role of women in Indonesia across the ages, as reflected through diverse artefacts. Women’s contributions extend far beyond the domestic sphere: they are not only nurturers of family life but also vital actors within the broader fabric of society. Their creativity in agriculture demonstrates remarkable innovations; their resilience and ingenuity are evident in the pursuit of livelihood; and their presence in governance underscores their influence in shaping communal and national life. The booklet traces women’s significance from prehistory to the modern era. It highlights women in classical Indonesia — including their participation in politics and governance — as well as their representation in legends and historical narratives. It explores women’s artistry in jewelry, their courage during times of struggle and revolution, and their transformative role in the era of national development. Together, these chapters reveal the enduring strength, creativity, and leadership of Indonesian women as custodians of culture and agents of progress.
