Now as it happens Javanese is not a language that Javanese speakers are used to reading, and undoubtedly the number of writers is smaller still than that of readers.
This is especially so in the Javanese e-groups with their daily multidirectional flow of messages, and also on a few message boards and guestbooks which are publicly accessible and used as forums for written dialogue.

The focus of her study identifies the hierarchical power relations between different social levels in Javanese society, as well as between men and women.
The lesson is that while what is defined as Javanese culture and its so-called refinement remains intact, there is little hope for the social or political emancipation of ordinary Javanese (and hence Indonesian) people.
