Liede Tilanus

She was a member of the Amsterdam City Council and was on the national board of the Association of Social Democratic Women's Clubs.

She was the daughter of Johanna Victoire Liotard (1831–1906) and Jan Willem Reinier Tilanus (1823–1914), professor of surgery at the University of Amsterdam.

Tilanus became secretary of the union and pleaded for a women's section in Het Volk in 1913, but that proved in vain.

She was on the council committee for public health assistance and worked for more practical homes, Montessori education, the introduction of consultations for infants and female inspectors in the vice police.

Until 1940 she continued to edit - together with Mathilde Wibaut - Ons Kinderblaadje, an appendix to the social-democratic women's magazine De Proletarische Vrouw.
