Onze Roeping
''Onze Roeping. Orgaan voor de Nederlandsche vrouw'' (Our Calling. Organ for the Dutch woman) was a women's magazine published in the Netherlands between 1870 and 1873. History The magazine was founded by Betsy Perk a pioneer of the Dutch women's movement. To spread her ideas, Perk had set up in 1869 a periodical named ''Ons Streven'' (Our Endeavour), one of the first magazines in the Netherlands to promote women's equality, which would be published until 1878. However, when the publisher put two male co-editors to work with her, she withdrew from the editorial team, because she suspected her colleagues of wanting to take the upper hand and feared that pieces against women's rights would also be included.

The focus of this journal was that women should be able to work, with Park arguing that this would both be beneficial for women and for the general economy.
