Aletta Jacobs was the most famous Dutch representative of the first feminist wave. That there had to be a fight for women's suffrage has indirectly to do with Jacobs. Originally, the law only set a wage limit for voting. Because she was a doctor, she met this wage limit and wanted to exercise her right to vote.
