Black-and-white historical portrait of Dr. Aletta Henriรซtte Jacobs (1854โ€“1929), the pioneering Dutch physician and women's rights activist, shown in a circular frame with a textured border. She has curly dark hair piled up, a serious expression, and wears a high-necked dress with elaborate floral embroidery on the bodice. As the first woman to officially attend a Dutch university and earn a medical doctorate in the Netherlands (graduating in 1879), she became one of the country's first female doctors. In 1882, she opened the world's first birth control clinic in Amsterdam, advocated for women's suffrage, better working conditions for women, the regulation of prostitution, and international peace efforts.
