On the 30th of September, the Museum of Dutch Literature, in collaboration with Huygens ING and the KB, National Library of the Netherlands, will open the exhibition “Omdat ik iets te zeggen had”[1], presenting a number of nineteenth-century Dutch women authors. The exhibition is organized in the context of the European HERA research project Travelling TexTs 1790-1914: The Transnational Reception of Women’s Writing at the Fringes of Europe.  The other party collaborating in the exhibition is the “Damesleesmuseum” (Ladies’ Reading Museum) from The Hague: a late-nineteenth-century library which played an important role in the international circulation of women’s writings, and still exists today.
