Ode to Aletta Jacobs | Fighting for women

By Nikola Hanclich1 maart 2025

Dear Aletta,

How wonderful that you fought for women's rights! Without you, women would have a very difficult life. Thank you for all that you have done that has helped women.  

You are truly an example to me and also to other women and children. You are truly a hero! How clever that you went to fight for women so young!

Greetings

The students from group 8 of the Sint Janschool in Amsterdam West have written odes to five remarkable Amsterdam women, as part of the curriculum for Women of Amsterdam - an ode.

Lize Korpershoek writes to Aletta Jacobs, Netherlands best-known feminist. Among other things, she was president of the 'Vereeniging voor Vrouwenkiesrecht' - from 1903 to 1919: then the goal was achieved. Jacobs fought for birth control and against prostitution. She had an extensive international feminist network.
