Born to be special and unique of all mankind, and even of all creatures, woman is naturally human with all she has. Ironically, all gifts bestowed upon her does not entirely prevent woman from being harassed by society. Over centuries, life of woman had never been appreciated. Whatever she did would just end up being a talk amongst society. Living in deplorable conditions, woman had to deal with all systems valued by society or else they would be considered immoral. Living a life as a woman might have been destined to be badly experiencing something low-value since the Creation shaped up zillion times ago. Even the life of Eve, our own great mother, had to be miserable because of a little mistake she made which brought us to walk on earth. It is not earth on which we should stand right now but Garden of Eden, the heaven, they say. Then, we, her descendants, are struggling for righteousness. Maybe, you do not know a story about a group of Japanese soldiers entering an area in China and raping all women there and killing those innocents back in early 20 th century. That is something unforgiveable and likely to be an element of the crime of genocide. Womans dignity was not valued and there was a blur line about who the woman is. She was enslaved by mens power and shut her voice out of democratic system in a country. But all of the darkness, there are always heroic figures, say, heroines, struggling for womens liberty and demanding their rights to be equalise just as that of men. One of them is Kartini, the pioneer of womens movement in Indonesia. Her genuineness portraying lives of women in this country provoked a movement called womens emancipation which then successfully lit the spirit of women all over the country to be feeling the same as what men did. Through her letters sent to her friend in Holland and later on published in a book popularly entitled Out of the Dark Comes Light, Kartini managed to make others, especially women to feel right about who they are. Years after Kartinis death, her spirit remains amongst us, but does it mean that woman is no longer discriminated? No, there are still traces of unfairness on this earth. Growing as the same as the cities all over the world, those women who cannot survive have to finally turn out to be working in brothels. They said they had no other choices. Government, they say, does not care about them anymore and neither does society. Their fragility has to go with all mockery they get from people whom never care about their lives. Its frustrating to live as woman either in the old days or even now.
