Exhibition about depressed writing housewife Ina Boudier Bakker tells the story

Boudier-Bakker’s letter from 1921

“It was a cat game. When I was sitting there, I suddenly saw a novel. In a small town all the women – consciously or unconsciously – were maddened by the monotony. Having to rely on each other.
