Colonial encounters were pivotal in the development of feminist consciousness and the womens
liberation movement among women and men in colonized countries like Indonesia. However, theinfluences of the colonial encounter on the foundation of feminist consciousness were not
developed by passive recipients of colonial ideas. The initial idea of Islamic education for
uslim girls showed the crucial influence and contribution of Islam and uslim women to earlyfeminist ideas in Indonesia. Islamic education for uslim girls was intended to answer the
specific problem of womens lack of empowerment within family and social life. The idea of
education for womens empowerment transformed into part of the nationalist movement againstcolonialism when in the end it led to the foundation of uslim womens organizations that
brought Islam as a critical tool. !oundation of uslim womens organizations was a critical
internal effort against patriarchal values and structures in the Islamic conte"t. I argue that these
feminist agendas, such as Islamic education for girls and uslim womens organizations, wereintegral to the Islamic reform movement.
Introduction
#n encounter with colonial rulers is often viewed as the main, even the only, factor in the
development of feminist consciousness among women $and men% in some colonized countries.
!or e"ample, &asim #mins $'()*+ '-(% inspiring reflection on womens rights in gypt,
documented in his books,Al-Marah Al-Jadidah$The /ew 0omen% and Tahrir Al-Marah
$0omens 1iberation%, e"hibits the significant influences of 2ritish perspectives of womens
liberation as a result of his interaction with the foreigners. His ideas of womens liberation do not
emerge solely from his views on the situation of gyptian women. His intensive intellectual
mingling with his 2ritish colleague, 1ord Cromer, and his e"periences while studying in !rance,

awakened his concern about womens seclusion. He was inspired with idea of womens
education to follow 0estern civilizations view of womens liberation $#hmed, '34 '55%. #
similar case is found in Indonesia. The idea of womens emancipation through educating girls,
voiced by 6artini $'(7+'-8% in the late '(--s, was often viewed as resulting from her
intensive interaction with her 9utch colleague, :osita #bendanon+andri $;oebadio, '7%.
Colonial encounters were pivotal in the development of feminist consciousness and the
womens liberation movement among women and men in colonized countries. However, in my
view, the influences of the colonial encounter on the foundation of feminist consciousness were
not developed by passive recipients of colonial ideas. The social and personal interaction
between the

leaders and clerics (ulama)and their self+reflection about specific conditions of Indonesian
uslim women.
In many countries, including gypt, ?apan $;ievers, '(*%, and Indonesia, education for
women appeared to be one of the most powerful agenda items of ual access to and participation in education for women dominated construction of the
idea of schools for girls and women. This situation developed a notion that education for women
was a global feminist agenda with the 0est as the only source of womens liberation and
feminist movement.
Islamic schools for uslim girls and women in an Indonesian historical conte"t showed
that the idea of education for girls was conte"tual and local, which means some specifically local
conditions motivated these early activists. In other words, the idea of school for girls during the
colonial period did not always reflect a wish to

Aarticipation of uslim womens organizations in the nationalist movement was not
meant only to fight against 9utch colonialism. It played a crucial role in challenging the male+
dominated nationalist movement that had decentralized womens voices and agendas in the
struggle for independence. 0omens organizations in the nationalist movement represented an
attempt to have a voice and to incorporate feminist agendas into the nationalist movement.
!urthermore, foundation of uslim womens organizations was a critical internal effort against
patriarchal values and structures in the Islamic conte"t. #s a conse>uence, it can be an argument
to prove that Islam and the uslim societies during the colonial period were not a singular
entityB rather, they were dynamic, heterogeneous and progressive, including in the conte"t of
gender and se"ual relations. Here I argue that these feminist agendas, such as Islamic education
for girls and uslim womens organizations, were integral to the Islamic reform movement.
In discussing the points I carry out in this paper, I specifically e"amine the life
e"periences of :ahmah #l+unusiyah $'-'+')% and 0alidah #hmad 9ahlan $'(73+'8)%,
two female uslim pioneers who significantly contributed to voicing the idea of Islamic schools
for girls and uslim womens organizations in Indonesian history. #l+unusiyah e"hibited a

elite family, 6artini had the opportunity to attend a 9utch school. 0ith the privileged ability of
speaking 9utch, she had access to reading books, magazines and newspapers and an opportunity
to communicate and interact with 9utch communities. Dnder this social situation, 6artini gained
an opportunity to know 0estern ideas of emancipation and liberation, including womens
emancipation $io!raph" of #aden Ad$en! %artini, 3-'8%.
6artini called for the erection of schools for girls. The opportunity of attending the 9utch
school and having an intensive interaction with the 9utch significantly shaped her idea of
schools for girls. However, she was greatly concerned about the social and political in@ustices in
?ava centered in the rulers abuse of power. In her '-* letter,

social and political benefits from the 9utch colonial policy of providing schools for pribumi
$ues. ;ome wealthy families sent their children to largepesantrenin other
cities, such as Tebuireng and ontor in ast ?ava. #s in the case of 9ahlan, some families sent
their sons to study Islam in ecca and gypt. In this academic circumstance, 6auman produced
many Oulama $;uratmin, '8%. 0alidah was born and raised within this situation.
Her parents did not send her away topesantrenbecause she was a female. 6auman
society restricted their daughters to activities outside their homes $0ahyudi, 3--34 8*%. 0ith this
limitation, 0alidah still had the opportunity to develop her social+academic accomplishment.

0alidahs father, her first teacher, taught her basic Islamic knowledge such as reading the
&uran and te"tbooks on Islam written in the local ?avanese language with the #rabic alphabet
$0ahyudi, 8*%. He also gave her a chance to teach younger female students in her parents house
$;uratmin, '%. Nn the one hand, this e"perience helped 0alidah develop the capacity for public
communication and, on the other, played an important role in opening her mind about the needs
of providing public education for girls. ;he realized that there was a huge problem of illiteracy
among uslim girls in her hometown. Nccasionally her father asked her to lead a larger
pen!a$ian, which contributed further to strengthening her leadership skills $;uratmin, 3'%.
0alidah married 9ahlan when she was still very young, in an arranged marriage that was
common within 6auman society at that time. The arranged marriage had a significant impact on
0alidah, calling her attention to the conditions of uslim women and she began working her
ideas of emancipation of uslim women after her marriage $0ahyudi, 57%. ;he often
accompanied 9ahlan when he gave public lectures andpen!a$ianin many uslim communities

The e"perience of being the wife of the leader of the Islamic movement contributed to
0alidahs awareness of the primary problem of Indonesian uslims ++ illiteracy and lack of
access to educational services. ;he understood that the uhammadiyah her husband founded did
not really pay attention to the specific problem of illiteracy among uslim women. 0alidah
taught women who worked in the local garment factory a skill of reading the &uran and writing
using #rabic alphabets.
0hen the uhammadiyah was first founded, 0alidah was 9ahlans only help in
operating the organization $;uratmin, *-%. ven though 9ahlan and the uhammadiyah did not

important position as academic institution that supported uslim womens empowerment. The

#l+unusiyah remained in inangkabau as she wanted to continue her education in an Islamic

unusiyahs Islamic schools for girls inspired ;heikh #bdurrahman Tad@, the Aresident of #l+
#zhar Dniversity to transform this idea to the university. #l+#zhar Dniversity also awarded #l+
unusiyahshai&hah$female master in Islamic knowledge%, the highest honorary scholar title. #l+
unusiyah was the first women to receive the award $hazali, ''4 3*(%. This award was not
only a recognition of her contribution to Islamic education for uslim girlsB more than that this
was an acknowledgment of her great accomplishment as a reformist uslim scholar and her
authoritative position in Islamic knowledgeB theshai&hhonorary title was usually only for male
scholars $hazali, 3*%.
In the conte"t of living under colonialism, #l+unusiyahs intellectual network with
uslim scholars from #l+#zhar Dniversity played an important role in shaping feminist
movement in Indonesian history. Dnlike 6artini who gained significant influences from her
9utch colleagues, the connection with uslim scholars in gypt contributed to the
acknowledgement of #l+unusiyahs contribution and authority in the field of Islamic reform
movement in her hometownB inangkabau society were among the most religious uslims in
Indonesia. #s a result, her pro@ect of Islamic education for uslim girls gained popularity and
public support. It is very important to specifically study whether #l+unusiyah had the
opportunity to build intellectual connection with or encountered with feminist ideas of a number
of the early 3-thCentury gyptian feminists, such as &asim #min, alak Hifni /assef $'(()+
''(%, Huda ;haarawi $'(7+'87%, 9oria ;hafik $'-(+'75%, and ai Qiyada $'(()+'8'%.
#l+unusiyah made an important step to design a collaboration between the Islamic
school she founded and #l+#zhar Dniversity. This collaboration provided scholarships for the
alumni of her school to study in #l+#zhar Dniversity. The first delegation to study in the
university included ( alumni in '5( $unawaroh, 3%. Nne of them earned a prestigious

#l+unusiyas idea of Islamic education for girls inspired manypesantrenin ?ava, the basis of
pesantreneducational system, to build special learning programs for girls and even build
pesantrenfor girls (pesantren puteri)$unawaroh, **%.
Dnlike 6artini who had a close social and personal relation with and gained significant
influences from her 9utch colleagues, #l+unusiyah was consistently independent from the
9utch colonial ruler. In the early '--s, the 9utch administration applied a policy to intervene
with Islamic education by restricting courses viewed to contribute to the development of critical
tradition among uslim students and led them toward the rebellion $Hamka, (%. #l+unusiyah
received an offer of financial subsidy from the 9utch colonial government to improve her
Islamic school. ;he re@ected the offer in order to maintain the independence of her school from
the intervention of the 9utch colonial interests. In '-5, the 9utch administration issued a
regulation that obliged!uru a!ama$teacher of Islamic knowledge% to re>uest approval from and
to report their learning process to local ruler $achnun Husein, '(*4 5+)%. #l+unusiyah

#l+unusiyah also e"pressed a critical challenge against the intervention of male uslim
scholars. 0hen the uhammadiyah was first introduced in inangkabau, some of the male
initiators approached #l+unusiyah to affiliate her Islamic school with the uhammadiyahs
education program. ;he re@ected this idea because she wanted to maintain her school free from
the influences of any organizations that, in the conte"t of nationalist movement, often involved in
political movement. 0hen ahmud unus, a prominent male uslim scholar issued the idea to

Islamic schools into one learning system in order to improve the >uality of the educational
system $unawaroh, 3--34 3'+33%. #l+unusiyah opposed the idea coming from unus, a very
important male uslim figure and a distinguished Oulama. ;he had her own thinking that it was
easier to manage Islamic schools if the management of the learning system was held by each
school.
#l+unusiyah wanted to increase the number of uslim women teachers in Islamic
schools (!uru a!ama)to teach uslim women and girls as her agenda of womens emancipation
from the isolation and marginalization in any social fields. #l+unusiyah viewed that this
mission can only be achieved if Islamic schools consistently focused on teaching and learning
activities and were not intervened by non+academic related interests, including politics

#l+unusiyahs idea of increasing the >uantity of female!uru a!amabetrayed the policy
of the 9utch colonial government that emphasized the education for girls to develop womens
attitudes of being good mothers. The 9utch policy of gender segregation in education was
formulated based on the perspective that women were supposed to be good mothers and they had
obligation to care their families and their children. ;ince many of their children went to 9utch
schools, their mothers had to learn 9utch in order to be able to communicate with their children.

Conclusion
uslim women have contributed significantly to the development of the feminist
movement in Indonesian history. 9espite 6artinis idea of school for girls that developed from
her intense interaction with her 9utch colleague becoming the main inspiration, these uslim
womens idea of Islamic education for uslim girls prove that feminist awareness in the colonial
historical conte"t was not @ust the result of colonial encounters. The feminist consciousness was
also developed through self+reflection of the conditions of uslim women and a personal, social,
and academic interaction within uslim communities in local, national and trans+national
conte"ts. The contribution of uslim women also appeared in the active involvement of uslim
womens organizations in the nationalist movement that challenged both the colonialism and the
male+dominated nationalist movement. !inally, the contribution of uslim women to the
development of feminist consciousness and awareness in the Indonesian historical conte"t
showed that the Islamic feminist agenda cannot be separated from the Islamic reform movement.
This also reflected the progressive dimension of Islam and the uslim communities in Indonesia
during the colonial period.
