feb 28, 1912 - Anxiety & Isolation

Description:

"She suffered a nervous breakdown and left the SDAP in 1912. The anguish she felt as a result of her isolation and her inability to make a political choice found its expression in the anthology The Woman in the Wood (De vrouw in het woud, 1912)."

from The Woman in the Wood
by Henriette Roland Holst (1869-1952)

She remained alone amidst
them who fought, full of burning pain,
longing for a god, to pray to him
to be also a man in her heart.
