Suwarsih Djojopuspito

Suwarsih Djojopuspito (April 20, 1912, in Buitenzorg, Dutch East Indies – August 24, 1977, in Yogyakarta, Indonesia), in pre-1940 spelling Soewarsih Djojopoespito, was an Indonesian author, regarded as one of the most important Indonesian feminist writers, publishing from the 1940s to the 1970s. Among her most well-known works are the semi-autobiographical novel ''Buiten het gareel'' (1940) and the short story collection ''Empat Serangkai'' (1954). She was among the vanguard of early feminist authors in Indonesia that preceded the New Order, and was one of the first female writers (along with Sariamin Ismail, Fatimah Hasan Delais, and Saadah Alim) to be published by the state publishing house Balai Pustaka.
