Suze Groeneweg

Suzanna "Suze" Groeneweg (4 March 1875 – 19 October 1940) was a Dutch politician of the Social Democratic Workers' Party (SDAP).

She was active in the work for people's education, and also for gender equality, although she did not participate in separate women's groups but preferred to work from within the party.

Groeneweg was a member of the central committee of the social democratic party, SDAP, in 1917, when passive women's suffrage was introduced: women could be voted into office, but could not vote themselves.

Suze Groeneweg was re-elected in 1922, and, in part due to the proportional representation system in use, six other women joined her in the House of Representatives - Johanna Westerman, Betsy Bakker-Nort, Elisabeth van Dorp, Sophie Bronsveld-Vitringa, Frida Mackay-Kayz and Agnes de Vries-Bruins.

[1] Groeneweg remained a member of the House of Representatives until June 1937.
