The Women's Role in Development in Indonesia (National Committee for International Women's Year, 1975)
Indonesia's official country report for the 1975 International Women's Year World Conference in Mexico City, prepared by the Indonesian National Committee under the Suharto government (Jakarta, June 1975). It gives speeches by Suharto, Tien Suharto and ministers, then chapters on women's legal status, the 1974 Marriage Law and polygamy, employment, education and literacy, family planning, welfare and peace. Its history of the women's movement runs from Kartini to KOWANI and skips the 1950s-60s left-wing organisations; Gerwani and 1965 are not mentioned.
