You know, Kartini was born in Mayong Jepara on April 21,
1879. As the daughter of a noble family, she was lucky because
she received a better education than other children. She was
very energetic, so her father called her ‘Trinil’. After her father
was elected head of regency in Jepara, she and her family
moved to Jepara. There she got a big chance to develop her
ideas. She could study at the Dutch school, where only children
from noble families were allowed to study.
Few years after finishing her studies, Kartini wanted to
continue her studies at higher level, but the custom forbade
women from going to school. So, Kartini was secluded at home
and forbidden to leave, until a man proposed to her. During her
‘pingitan’ time, she spent her time reading books, from her
relatives.

Aristotle was a great Greek philosopher. His father was
a physician (doctor) to King Amyntas of Macedonia.
As a boy, Aristotle probably watched his father treating
patients and making medicines from parts of plants and animals.
From this, Aristotle may have gained his interests in nature
studies, biology and anatomy.
