| Description | In this chapter Berteke Waaldijk discusses the portraits of two young women authors, Anne Frank (1929-1944) and Raden Ajeng Kartini (1879-1904). The two portraits have been reproduced in books that published posthumous texts, respectively a diary and personal letters, written by these two women. Both women have acquired canonised status in the representations of two major events of a century, the 20th, that left its mark on the history of the Netherlands: the history of imperialism and the history of the Holocaust. The author argues that reprinting the photographs of these two women contributed to a view of their work in which there was hardly any attention to their literary and political ambitions or the complexities of their writing. |
