The state has the opportunity to open up the truth to "straighten out" and interpret "Kartinis" who have begun to get trapped and imprisoned in the name of industrialization and modernization.

A poster of Raden Adjeng Kartini decorate the walls of the house on Jalan Halim Perdana Kusuma, Tangerangl City, Sunday (12/4/2020). RA Kartini is known as a figure of women\'s emancipation, especially in fighting for the right to education for women. April 21 is celebrated as Kartini Day.

Observers of women issues are often trapped between two diametral poles: scripturalist and pragmatic.

Scripturalists insist that womanhood is a construction of text, while pragmatists think that womanhood is a symbol of the struggle for justice. This paper tries to understand Kartini\'s character through a contemporary construction called post-Kartinian. The Post-Kartinian view in this case offers a perspective on Kartini from a history perspective that is natural and humane.
