Notes

Daughter of a Mennonite preacher, Maria (Mietje) Aletta Hulshoff was a Dutch Patriot (anti-Orangist), feminist and pamphleteer. She published her first pamphlet 'An Appeal to the Batavian People' in 1806, arguing against the imposition of Napoleon's brother as king of Holland. All but five copies were destroyed by the authorities and her family 'abducted' her to safety in Germany. She escaped back to Holland and demanded a trial and was condemned to two years imprisonment. Further attacks on the Napoleonic regime led to her fleeing to Amsterdam, disguised as a man, and then on to London. From 1811-20 she lived in voluntary exile in New York where she wrote and published her handbook for pacifist republicans (1817). Contemporaries labelled her "hysterical" but she preferred to compare herself to Joan of Arc.
