Dear Nora,

I think it's tough that you've overcome so much. That you survived a war. That you fought against inequality. You must have gotten this fighting spirit from your parents! Your father who forged identity cards. Your mother, the nurse, who helped save Jewish children.

I think it's cool that you were a spokesperson for the Dolle Mina's. That you took charge, that you burned your corset. The demonstrations worked! The name Dolle Mina still reverberates through Amsterdam, Nyenrode Castle and the rest of the Netherlands.

I think it's cool, that despite having 4 children, you still studied Pharmacy and opened your own pharmacy. Where you made and dispensed medicinal cannabis, and even one of the first providers of experimental HIV.

I think it's tough that you fought both on a personal level and for women and for humanity.

I think it's tough.

Love,

Leonie Wouters, a fan.
