Penyair Misterius, Pendukung Sastra Anak (Sugiarti Siswadi)
Mysterious poet and supporter of children's literature: Sugiarti Siswadi (Tempo, 1 May 2021)
Tempo article, 1 May 2021, by Isma Savitri and Hardian Putra Pratama, on Lekra writer Sugiarti Siswadi: Lekra central leadership member from 1959, children's-literature advocate, author of the banned Sorga Dibumi, and editor of Api Kartini. Researchers cannot trace her life; one suspects she was jailed in Semarang in 1965-66. Gerwani is not mentioned; context on left women writers.
Artikel Tempo, 1 Mei 2021, oleh Isma Savitri dan Hardian Putra Pratama tentang penulis Lekra Sugiarti Siswadi: pengurus pusat Lekra sejak 1959, pegiat sastra anak, penulis buku Sorga Dibumi yang dilarang, dan redaktur Api Kartini. Para peneliti tak dapat melacak riwayat hidupnya; salah satu menduga ia dipenjara di Semarang pada 1965-66. Gerwani tidak disebut; konteks penulis perempuan kiri.
“Tak banyak kenangan tersisa tentang Sugiarti Siswadi, penulis yang juga aktivis Lembaga Kebudayaan Rakyat.”
