TFA blurb review
Bertha "Betsy" Bakker-Nort was a Dutch feminist, lawyer, and politician who served as a member of the House of Representatives for the Free-thinking Democratic League (VDB) from 1922 to 1942. Born in Groningen, she became involved with the feminist movement in 1894. At age 34, Bakker-Nort started studying law, realising that the fight for women's rights required a thorough understanding of the law. In the 1922 general election, the first in which women were allowed to vote, she was elected to parliament and became the VDB's first female representative. She was re-elected four times and was an advocate for more women's rights with respect to marriage and labour law. She was also active internationally. After the German invasion of the Netherlands in May 1940, Bakker-Nort did not return to parliament. From December 1942 she was detained in internment and concentration camps. She was liberated in June 1945 and died the following year.

 * I was going to leave it a bit since fellow Dutch feminist politician Corry Tendeloo was on the home page only recently, but if you think it is fine, let's do it. Blurb looks ok, only question is the capital I in Internment. I would go for lowercase. Edwininlondon (talk) 20:06, 6 October 2022 (UTC)


 * Thanks, and good spot. Lower cased. I have it provisionally scheduled for 21 November. Gog the Mild (talk) 21:56, 6 October 2022 (UTC)
