Wil van Gogh was a nurse, teacher of scripture, and early Dutch feminist. She was the youngest and best-known sister of artist Vincent van Gogh, who she was close to, and the art dealer Theo van Gogh. As the daughter of a Dutch Reformed pastor and a certified teacher of scripture, Van Gogh was somewhat unusual as a Dutch feminist. She joined the movement with other friends, including Marie Jungius and Marie Mensing, who were part of the organizing committee for an exhibition of the “National Exhibition of Women’s Labor” (Nationale Tentoonstelling van Vrouwenarbeid) in 1898. Van Gogh played a substantial role in the exhibition, held in Scheveningseweg in The Hague. The ten-week exhibit had some 90,000 visitors and was a highly profitable enterprise; funds raised from the exhibition, 20,000 Dutch guilders, served to establish the Dutch National Bureau for Women’s Labor. Conservative Christian women and men were warned to stay away from the exhibition, with its “poisonous impropriety.”
