# 1001 Vrouwen uit de Nederlandse geschiedenis

1001 Vrouwen uit de Nederlandse geschiedenis is a compilation of 1001 biographies of famous women of the Netherlands spanning roughly 1700 years.

## Project

The book is the result of a research project called the Digital Women's lexicon of the Netherlands (Digitaal Vrouwenlexicon van Nederland) led by Els Kloek. The biographies are presented in alphabetical order, and can also be viewed online. The breakdown of biographies per period according to the website (which is still growing) is as follows:
| Period of birth | Number of biographies |
| before 1399 | 70 |
| 1400-1499 | 50 |
| 1500-1599 | 162 |
| 1600-1699 | 295 |
| 1700-1799 | 286 |
| 1800-1899 | 278 |
| 1900-1999 | 125 |
Over 300 writers contributed biographies. The historians Anna de Haas, Marloes Huiskamp, Els Kloek, and Kees Kuiken each wrote over 40 biographies, while nearly a third were the combined work of various editors. The book was designed by Irma Boom.
