When she was in her late teens, she worked as a bookkeeper at her father's company. She achieved her qualification in accounting and commercial arithmetic, making her one of the first women in the Netherlands to do so. As well as this, she wrote for the Telegraaf about marriage and family life. Later, she became a housewife, bringing up her four children whilst being part of the Dutch Association of Housewives; she continued writing about homelife, and was published in a magazine called 'Ze'. She also was founder of the Association for New Feminists, which had little success.
