Soetitah

Soetitah (born circa 1890, date of death unknown) was a Sarekat Islam and Communist Party of Indonesia (PKI) propagandist, activist, and schoolteacher in Semarang, Dutch East Indies in the 1910s and 1920s.

[1] She was a close ally of Semaun, Tan Malaka, and other Semarang communists of the time and was chair of the women's section of the party in the early 1920s.

[14][15] And later in 1923 when there were mass arrests of Semarang SI/PKI leaders, including Semaun, she spoke out passionately and advocated for a strike of the communist-affiliated tramway personnel.

[4][16] However, many members remained in the SI and the Semarang branch continued to exist until around 1924 or 1925, when it renamed itself Sarekat Ra'jat (people's union), this time with Moenasiah as chair and Soetitah as vice-chair of the women's section.

[1][3] In early 1927 she was ordered to be exiled to Boven-Digoel concentration camp along with roughly a thousand other PKI members who were detained there indefinitely without charge.
