| In this article, Mineke Bosch analyses – against the background of historians’ general disdain for commemoration, and from a personal perspective – the commemoration of 100 years of women’s suffrage in the Netherlands. The main aim of this commemoration was to ensure a ‘rewriting’ of the standard narrative of Dutch universal suffrage, in which women’s struggle for the vote was as historically relevant as men’s. It meant, first of all, that the traditional timeframe had to be disrupted. After various political skirmishes with a semi-official steering group for the celebration of universal suffrage first planned for 2017, then for 2017–2019, and the political successor of that, Dutch women and gender historians united on the common goal of a separate celebration of the centenary of women’s suffrage in 2019, with an emphasis on the collective advertising of all planned public historical activities. Though this did, in fact, greatly advance the visibility and knowledge of the Dutch women’s struggle for suffrage, this act of inclusion did not lead to a fully inclusive history, as the colonial dimension of this narrative remained largely uncovered and therefore mystified the fact that all inhabitants of Dutch colonies remained outside the constitution. | |
