The Persatuan Islam, Islamic Union (Federspiel, 1966)

Open file in Google DriveRead full text

Howard Federspiel's PhD thesis (McGill, 1966) on the Persatuan Islam (Persis), the modernist Muslim organisation founded in Bandung in 1923, covering its beliefs, polemics and politics to 1963. Chapter 10 treats Persis views on women's role, veiling and polygamy. It never mentions Gerwani or Gerwis; the only link is a footnote (n.63) on a Persis fatwa permitting Masjumi women to visit China and the USSR.

Disertasi PhD Howard Federspiel (McGill, 1966) tentang Persatuan Islam (Persis), organisasi Muslim modernis yang didirikan di Bandung tahun 1923, mencakup keyakinan, polemik, dan politiknya hingga 1963. Bab 10 membahas pandangan Persis tentang peran perempuan, pemakaian cadar, dan poligami. Gerwani dan Gerwis tidak disebut sama sekali; satu-satunya kaitan ialah catatan kaki (no. 63) tentang fatwa Persis yang mengizinkan perempuan Masjumi berkunjung ke Tiongkok dan Uni Soviet.

“Footnote 63 (ch.10): a Persis fatwa sanctioned the trip of leading Masjumi women to Communist China and the Soviet Union, provided several travelled together (no mention of Gerwani).”
