About the author
Born in Amsterdam in 1880 and later dying in Lausanne in 1957, Jeanne van den Bergh van Eysinga-Elias was a Dutch writer and feminist. Available reference sources describe her as the daughter of Wouter Hendrik Elias and Anna Maria Hulshoff, and note that she married the Dutch Reformed theologian Gijsbert van den Bergh van Eysinga in 1906.
She is especially associated with writing about Multatuli, and her name remains linked to editions and studies of his work. That connection suggests the kind of literary world she moved in: one shaped by debate, reform, and questions of freedom and justice.
