She read a lot of books, newspapers, and knowledge magazines, she didn’t care what kind of reading she just want to read AND write! Just name them, De Locomotief, Max Havelaar, Surat Surat Cinta written by Multatulis, De Stille Kraacht (Kekuatan Gaib) by Louis Coperus. And then Van Eeden’s works, Augusta de Witt works, Nyonya Goekoop de-Jong Van Beek’s romantic-feminist, and Die Waffen Nieder (Letakkan Senjata) by Berta Von Suttner.
All in Dutch language.
A lot of her writing has been published on magazines, and lot of it show that her concerns actually not only on woman emancipation, but also general problems on her society! She saw that the struggle for women to obtain their freedom, autonomy, and legal equality was just part of a wider movement.
On 1903, she had to undergo arranged married, that she’s really against at the first place. Maybe if that happened to us, a lot of us will rebel or do something, BUT She agreed to do the marriage, only to appease her ailing father. I dont care what you say she’s hella badass because not all of us will do what she did omfg.
