Tomorrow is the 163 years ago, that Aletta Jacobs was born. They would be known as the first Dutch woman who is a college degree and successfully graduated.
Because the women’s right to vote this year, 100 years, takes hold of the search giant Google its birth to Jacobs, and thus the rights of women, in the limelight.
On Google.nl is tomorrow not the normal logo, but the letters of the company along with a drawing of Jacobs and a university building. The doodle, as the logo is called, is designed by a Dutchman, Gerben Steenks.
Twelve countries
Google publishes the doodle in twelve countries, including Canada, Sweden, Spain and Australia.
The default Google-logo create a regular place for variants that refer to public holidays or major events. Also Dutch logos are a familiar sight, for example, think of Koningsdag.
Jacobs is not the first Dutch international to spend a day in the doodle. So was last year on his birthday Antoni van Leeuwenhoek in the Google logo.
Thorbecke
Aletta Jacobs (1854-1929) wanted as a little girl like nothing more than to become a doctor, but universities were only boys welcome. About two hundred years earlier had: Anna Maria van Schurman (1607-1678) permission to, from behind a curtain, the colleges of the university in Utrecht to follow, but an examination sat there for Van Schurman.
Jacobs if that ultimately. After prime minister Thorbecke had asked whether they ‘academic lessons’ should follow, she was in 1871 for a year admitted to the University of Groningen. More than six years later, she graduated as the first woman in the Netherlands. After her promotion, in 1879, she moved to England to specialize to women’s and pediatrician.
In London she was acquainted with feminists who advocated women’s suffrage. After returning to the Netherlands, they are committing themselves to this. Women’s suffrage was in the Netherlands in 1919 entered.
