The Women's Movement in Indonesia, with Special Reference to the 'Aisyiyah Organization (PhD dissertation, Temple University)

Suraiya It's 2005 Temple University religion PhD dissertation on the Indonesian women's movement, with the Muhammadiyah women's section 'Aisyiyah as case study (Ch. 2 history from Kartini to the New Order; Ch. 3 religion and family law; Ch. 4-5 'Aisyiyah; Ch. 6 conclusion). Gerwani appears only in passing: Gerwis is listed among organisations at the 1955 KOWANI congress and glossed as PKI-affiliated (p. 55 and n. 64), and Catholic women's aversion to Gerwani, tied to Communism, grew after 1959 (p. 63). Cites Wieringa's work on Gerwani.
