Sexual Politics in Indonesia

This book analyzes the interaction between nationalism, feminism, and socialism in Indonesia since the beginning of the 20th century until the New Order State of President Suharto. The focus is on the communist women's organization Gerwani, which was by 1965 the largest communist women's organization in the non-communist world. Gerwani members combined feminist demands such as a reform of the marriage law with an insistence upon a political role for women.Wieringa, Saskia E. is the author of 'Sexual Politics in Indonesia', published 2002 under ISBN 9780333987186 and ISBN 0333987187.
