Estella Hijmans-Hertzveld
Estella Dorothea Salomea Hijmans-Hertzveld (14 July 1837 – 4 November 1881) was a Dutch poet, translator, and activist. From a young age, her poems, mainly on Biblical and historical themes, appeared regularly in respectable literary journals. Frequently, her work also addressed contemporary social issues, including the abolition of slavery, Jewish emancipation, and opposition to war. A collection of her best-known poems, entitled Gedichten ('Poems'), was published several weeks before her death in 1881.
