Perempuan Ditekan, Perempuan Melawan (Historia, 2018)

Women suppressed, women resisting (Historia, 2018)

Historia feature (2018) on how the New Order subordinated the women's movement after 1965, branding politically minded women 'like Gerwani' and portraying Gerwani as beautiful but cruel, and how independent organising revived from the 1980s. Draws on Suryakusuma and Murniati.

Purifying Indonesia, Purifying Women: Komnas Perempuan and the 1965-1968 Violence (van Doorn-Harder, 2019)

Nelly van Doorn-Harder's 2019 article on how Komnas Perempuan took up 1965 women survivors (2006 delegation, 2007 report), arguing the violence and stigma were justified as 'purification' and Gerwani women were cast as 'the most impure of all'. Gender and religious logic of impurity.
