My other interest field is feminism. In 1998, I published my doctoral dissertation on the origins of the Dutch second feminist movement: 'Leidsvrouwen en zaakwaarneemsters.' Een geschiedenis van de Aktiegroep Man Vrouw Maatschappij (MVM) 1968-1973 (Leading women and cause minders. A history of MVM)(Hilversum: Verloren)
