Herinneringen van Dr. Aletta H. Jacobs

The memoir traces childhood and schooling, the struggle to gain access to higher education and professional training despite social resistance, and the establishment of a medical practice serving women's needs. It describes efforts to address maternal suffering and promote birth control alongside a wider commitment to social reform. The narrative recounts sustained activism for women's political rights and participation in international peace initiatives. Interwoven are personal reflections on setbacks, alliances, and travels, and a concluding assessment of achievements and hopes for future generations of women.
