The Amsterdamse Joffers, 6 pages story, 9 biographies, 2016

The Amsterdamse Joffers was a group of women artists who worked from the end of the 19th century well in to the 20th century in Amsterdam.  My documentary comic is a ‚herstory‘ investigating the world these women lived in and questions what the real legacy is they left behind.

I draw parallels to the work we do as a collective with Chicks on Comics and within that context I include personal thoughts about perspectives now and then.

The Amsterdamse Joffers was published in English on Drawing the Times and in Dutch on Pulp Deluxe.
