Christine de Bosch Kemper

Jonkvrouw/Freule Christine de Bosch Kemper (16 August 1840, Amsterdam - 12 May 1924, Amersfoort) was a Dutch writer.

She was a member of the Kemper noble family, daughter of Jeronimo de Bosch Kemper [da; nl; sv] and Maria Aletta Hulshoff (not the author Maria Hulshoff) and younger sister of the suffragist Jeltje de Bosch Kemper.

Jacob Gijsbert de Hoop Scheffer [nl], then Mennonite pastor at Amsterdam, baptised her in 1861.

[1] She began to concentrate on the education of young women in 1867, and to further that purpose moved in 1880 from Amsterdam to Amersfoort, where she opened her house as a school to educate all classes of young women for free.

[3] She and her sister Jeltje both championed women's rights, though Freule kept these ideas within her own circle.
