Seven of these were written together with Coos Covens. Two others were written under the pen name Constance Hazelager, under which she also wrote columns.[1]
As the daughter, wife, and sister of Dutch Reformed ministers, and the granddaughter of the missionary Sierk Coolsma,[2][3] most of her fiction was on Christian topics. Some books were set in Suriname where she had lived from 195 to 1955. From Suriname, she wrote columns for the daily newspapers Nieuwsblad van het Noorden and the Nieuwe Rotterdamsche Courant. Later, she wrote a series of articles for the Dutch women's magazine De Vrouw en haar Huis .

Subsequently, the Van der Meidens lived in Boekelo and Breda.[4] They had four children, among whom the historian and translator Pim van der Meiden (1941–2017).[2]
