Nani Soewondo-Soerasno

Nani Soewondo-Soerasno[a] (born 15 August 1918 – date of death unknown)[1] was an Indonesian lawyer, suffragist, and women's rights activist.

Soewondo was a member of the NTR Commission (Nikah, Talak, Rudjuk) on marriage inequity set up by the 1949 Women's Congress, serving as secretary.

[6] In 1959, she was awarded a scholarship in honor of Elin Wägner by the Swedish government to carry out research on the history of Indonesian women's rights.

In the late 1950s, Soewondo served as part of a three-member commission to develop the precise wording of the proposed marriage act, which she subsequently advocated for.

[2][1] In 1981, she published a book on the status of Indonesian women under the law, which the Australian historian Susan Blackburn notes was unusual for its time period.
