Catharina Halkes

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Catharina Joanna Maria Halkes (Vlaardingen, 2 Juli 1920 - Nijmegen, 21 April 2011) was a Dutch theologian and feminist, notable for having been the first Dutch professor of feminism and Christianity, at the Radboud University Nijmegen from 1983 to 1986. A Roman Catholic who was originally schooled in Dutch language and literature, she became active in the women's movement within the church, and gained a measure of notoriety when she was forbidden to address Pope John Paul II during his visit to the Netherlands in 1985.^[1] She is considered the founding mother of feminist theology in the Netherlands.^[2]
