1001 Vrouwen uit de Nederlandse geschiedenis is a compilation of 1001 biographies of famous women of the Netherlands spanning roughly 1700 years.[1]
Project
[edit]The book is the result of a research project called the Digital Women's lexicon of the Netherlands (Digitaal Vrouwenlexicon van Nederland) led by Els Kloek.[2] The biographies are presented in alphabetical order, and can also be viewed online.[3] The breakdown of biographies per period according to the website (which is still growing) is as follows:
| Period of birth | Number of biographies |
|---|---|
| before 1399 | 70 |
| 1400-1499 | 50 |
| 1500-1599 | 162 |
| 1600-1699 | 295 |
| 1700-1799 | 286 |
| 1800-1899 | 278 |
| 1900-1999 | 125 |
Over 300 writers contributed biographies. The historians Anna de Haas, Marloes Huiskamp, Els Kloek, and Kees Kuiken each wrote over 40 biographies, while nearly a third were the combined work of various editors. The book was designed by Irma Boom.
