Minah (short story by Sulami, 1960)
Minah: short story (Sulami, 1960)
'Minah', a 1960 short story by Sulami in Women of the Whole World, winning that magazine's monthly contest. Set in colonial and Japanese-occupation Java: Minah fights for schooling at Kartini's school, is married off, then resists Japanese Commander Josida's attempt to take her as second wife; Josida is shot as the independence proclamation arrives. Fiction, no Gerwani mention.
'Minah', cerita pendek Sulami (1960) di Women of the Whole World, pemenang kontes bulanan majalah itu. Berlatar Jawa masa kolonial dan pendudukan Jepang: Minah berjuang bersekolah di sekolah Kartini, dikawinkan, lalu menolak Komandan Jepang Josida yang ingin menjadikannya istri kedua; Josida ditembak saat proklamasi kemerdekaan tiba. Fiksi, tanpa menyebut Gerwani.
“The story ends with Minah working at the Revolutionary Headquarters and 'waiting for her husband' after the independence proclamation (pp. 32-33).”
