Women climbing up in the Indonesian Islamic World

In Yogyakarta, with the death of the Indonesian Islamic boarding schools head Islamic scholar, the school was expected to close. The now widowed wife, Nyai Yu Masriya, decided "that she would run the school. 'If men can do it, then why can't I?...' If you, Allah, are the source of all power, then why do I have to find someone else to run it? Just give me the power. I know that I can do it.'" Many, now and in the past, used to say "Power to the People". I say "Power to the women", and good luck Nyai, one of the firsts for Islamic Women.
