Henriette Goverdine Anna "Jet" Roland Holst-van der Schalk[a] (24 December 1869 – 21 November 1952) was a Dutch poet and communist.

Roland Holst attended four years of boarding school in Velp and studied French in Liege.

She married the artist Richard Roland Holst in 1896[3] and befriended the poet Herman Gorter, who prompted her to read Das Kapital by Karl Marx.

[4] Around 1890, Henriette met Albert Verwey,[5] who with Willem Kloos was among the leaders of the Tachtigers and the founders of De Nieuwe Gids.

At the conferences of the International, she came into contact with prominent Marxists such as Karl Liebknecht, Rosa Luxemburg, and Leon Trotsky.

While in the CPN, she sided with Herman Gorter, Anton Pannekoek, and the left communist fraction of the party.

On 13 November she went with David Wijnkoop at the head of a procession on the Orange-Nassau barracks in Amsterdam, to celebrate the brotherhood with the hussars.

She suffered from depression, bouts of anorexia,[7] anemia and heart disease but when she was well she struggled with an unrelenting zeal to improve the position of workers, youth, and women.
