Suze La Chapelle-Roobol

Born in The Hague in the mid-19th century, Suze la Chapelle-Roobol built a writing career that included both original fiction and translation. Reference sources consistently describe her as a Dutch writer and translator, and her work appeared across the late 1800s and early 1900s.

Her books include titles such as Nora, Huisvrienden, Een gelukskind, Egoisme, and De familie de Regt. She is especially known for Stijfkopje als grootmoeder, which became known in German as Trotzkopf als Grossmutter and linked her name to the wider Trotzkopf tradition.

She died in The Hague in 1923. Although she is not widely known today outside specialist readers, her fiction still offers a window into Dutch literary life and popular storytelling of her era.
