Brief aan Philip Zilcken Possibly 1902

This letter, written in 1902 by Suze Groshans, is a handwritten document on stationary for the Nationaal Bureau van Vrouwenarbeid. Groshans was deeply involved in the Dutch women's movement, which sought to improve women's labor conditions and expand their social and political rights. The Nationaal Bureau van Vrouwenarbeid, or National Bureau for Women's Labor, was an institution dedicated to these goals, documenting and advocating for women in the workforce. The letter itself, addressed to Philip Zilcken, likely pertains to the administrative or organizational work of the Bureau. It hints at the daily work that went into sustaining a movement for social change. To fully understand this piece, further research into the archives of the Dutch women's movement would provide valuable context. This letter serves as a reminder that art and social change are often intertwined, with institutions playing a crucial role in shaping both.
