A Daughter in the Indonesian Muhammadiyah: Nasyiatul Aisyiyah Negotiates a New Status and Image

摘要

This study discusses the experience of Nasyiatul Aisyiyah, the young women's organization within the modernist Indonesian Islamic organisation Muhammadiyah. Originally a section of Aisyiyah, the women's wing of Muhammadiyah, Nasyiatul Aisyiyah called for autonomous status and, eventually, secured it in 1965. The paper explains this struggle, the development of gender ideology as an alternative discourse, and the controversy this generated among the Muhammadiyah family organizations.
