<![CDATA[This article examines the continuity and transformation of the educational legacy of Rahmah El Yunusiyah (1900–1969) within the gender-based Islamic education movement run by Rahima (Center for Islamic Education and Information and Women's Rights) in contemporary Indonesia. Rahmah El Yunusiyah is known as a pioneer of Islamic education for women through the establishment of the Sekolah Diniyyah Puteri Padang Panjang on November 1, 1923, which was the first Islamic educational institution specifically for women in Southeast Asia. Meanwhile, Rahima, founded in 2000, exists as a non-governmental organization dedicated to community education, advocacy for women's rights from an Islamic perspective, the development of female ulama (Islamic scholars), and the development of gender-just pesantren modules. This research uses a critical literature review approach with a thematic comparative analysis of primary and secondary scientific sources searched through Google Scholar, ResearchGate, and Scopus. The findings show that there is a strong genealogical thread between the two in terms of expanding women's religious access and authority, emphasizing equality as an inherent Islamic value, and developing institutions that provide structural space for women's leadership. At the same time, there is a real transformation that spans four dimensions: from formal madrasas to NGOs and community education; from a colonial context to a democratic context and global human rights discourse; from classical teaching patterns to training, advocacy, and media campaigns; and from simply providing access to texts to transforming how texts are read through critical hermeneutics (mubadalah).]]>
