Petronella Moens (16 November 1762 – 4 January 1843) was a blind Dutch writer, editor, and feminist.

She managed a paper in 1788–1797, in which she spoke for political issues such as slavery and women suffrage.

[1] That same year, Moens contracted smallpox while staying in IJzendijke and was struck blind.

[2] Despite her disability, she would write dozens of poems and books, such as Songbook for the Churches and its 432 songs.

In 1785, she received a gold medal from the Amsteldamsch Dicht- en Letterlievend Genootschap for her poem De waare christian and would by the end of her life possess ten such awards.
