Ode to Saskia van UylenburghSaskia to me always my dear kindergarten teacher
Saskia to me always my dear kindergarten teacher. Going to school for the first time, those are your first steps apart from your parents into life as your own person who are you? What kind of woman am I becoming? A powerful, positive, energetic and valuable Saskia was by my side these kindergarten years. For that I am grateful. The ray of sunshine this morning was also a little for you, my Saskia.
I wish for my daughters and for the world stubborn women who, in part through, education, can shape their lives the way they want. We all need that!
Period
1612– 1642
