Hendrika Johanna Van Leeuwen
Hendrika Johanna van Leeuwen (July 3, 1887 – February 26, 1974) was a Dutch physicist known for her early contributions to the theory of magnetism. She studied at Leiden University under the guidance of Hendrik Antoon Lorentz, obtaining her doctorate in 1919. Her thesis explained why magnetism is an essentially quantum mechanical effect, a result now referred to as the Bohr–van Leeuwen theorem.

She continued to investigate magnetic materials at the "Technische Hogeschool Delft" (now called the Delft University of Technology), first as "assistant" between September 1920 and April 1947, and then she was promoted to "lector in de theoretische en toegepaste natuurkunde" (reader in theoretical and applied physics).

Hendrika Hofhuis
Hendrika Hofhuis (1780–1849), was a Dutch woman, famous for being put on trial for witchcraft in 1823. While this was not a real witch trial, she was the last person to be formally charged with such a crime in the Netherlands. Life Hofhuis was born to a farmer and married to a farmer in Deldenerbroek. In 1823, she contacted the authorities and demanded to be tried by water for witchcraft, in order to clear her name for the rumours of sorcery that were circulating about her. She had been turned away from a sick child's bed because she was said to be responsible. The rumours had increased to such a degree that her own children suspected her. The Dutch authorities did no longer believe in witchcraft. However, while witch trials, at this point, had not been conducted in the Netherlands for over a century, the law which made witchcraft illegal had never been abolished, and thus made it possible to conduct such an investigation. Hofhuis demanded to be charged so that she may be able t ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
