Cinta itu suatu rasa yang aneh, unik, sukar untuk ditafsirkan dengan kata-kata. Datangnya tidak dijemput dan perginya tidak diusir. Uniknya cinta, manusia berasa bahagia ketika menderita. Begitulah yang dirasakan Anna. Kehadiran Hud yang pada mulanya tidak diumpamakan itu amat memberi erti yang besar dalam dirinya. Perkenalan singkat itu adalah titik mula sebuah kehidupan yang baru. Benarlah, TUHAN tidak akan jadikan sesuatu tanpa sebabnya. Kerana itu dia sedar, kehilangan dan kekecewaan itu adalah rahmat TUHAN. Biarpun berbeza adat dan budaya, tidak sesekali dia mengusir cinta yang datang. Biarpun jarak dan waktu memisahkan, dia akan tetap bahagia merindui lelaki itu. Biarpun memiliki hati lelaki itu seakan mustahil, dia tidak akan pernah kesal mencintai Hud. “Saya bukan siapa-siapa untuk menyayangi awak. Kalaupun saya, sayang tu takkan kekal. Bila-bila masa saja saya akan pergi dan sayang tu akan hilang. Tapi ada yang akan kekal mengasihi awak sampai bila-bila. DIA TUHAN Yang Esa...” – HUD AIDIT

In the first study of the kind, Susan Blackburn examines how Indonesian women have engaged with the state since they began to organise a century ago. Voices from the women's movement resound in these pages, posing demands such as education for girls and reform of marriage laws. The state, for its part, is shown attempting to control women. The book investigates the outcomes of these mutual claims and the power of the state and the women's movement in improving women's lives. It also questions the effects on women of recent changes to the state, such as Indonesia's transition to democracy and the election of its first female president. The wider context is important. On some issues, like reproductive health, international institutions have been influential and as the largest Islamic society in the world, Indonesia offers special insights into the role of religion in shaping relations between women and the state.
