Neue Zeit, 20 February 1960, p. 4: women's-page feature "Kartini wollte keine 40 Nebenfrauen", signed Sulami, on Kartini (1879–1904), pioneer of the Indonesian women's movement. It recounts her opposition to child marriage and polygamy under Dutch colonial rule, her letters, and her sympathy for socialism, and quotes President Sukarno honouring her before 3,000 women. Gerwani is not named; the byline Sulami is unexplained. Framing: emancipation and anti-colonial heritage.
