Founders Collection IAV

The three women on the conference banner are the founders of the Collection IAV, the three leading Dutch feminists Rosa Manus (1881-1942), Johanna Naber (1859-1941) and Willemijn Posthumus-van der Goot (1897-1989). Their aim was to build an archive and library to collect and preserve women’s cultural and historical heritage and also to encourage and publicize scholarly research.

The collection began with a gift from Rosa Manus: 300 books, among them books which originated from Aletta Jacobs (1854-1929), the first female general practitioner in the Netherlands and a leader in the (inter)national campaign for women’s suffrage.
