Women’s writing in the Netherlands before 1900



Thanks to the digitizing project “The International Reception of Women’s Writing” (2004-2007) a large number of Dutch women who wrote and published has been traced: more than 700. A provisional list of names can be consulted in the database WomenWriters: presented in a chronological or in an alphabetical order.

This is considerably more than the odd 160 women writers who had been presented and discussed in the 1997 anthology of Dutch women's writing between 1550 and 1850, entitled Met en zonder Lauwerkrans (With and without Laurels). Nearly all of them have been included in the database WomenWriters, not all however. Indeed, one of our leading principles being to consider authors from the side of contemporary reactions toward their publications, it seemed unjustified to include those women for whom no such reception traces had been found. 150 of them are to be found here: in alphabetical and chronological order: 126 of them active in the Netherlands, 24 in (the territory of present-day) Belgium. (Note that literary relations between these two countries, separated only since halfway the 19th century, are to be studied in detail).

Many of these figures are still enigmatic: archives will be consulted, works will be analyzed; publication of articles will follow. For some others, considered as individuals or per category, online articles are presently being prepared or adapted for new presentation in this website. First publications here will concern:
