Agree. Congratulations Thellomerca! A surprising and very interesting biography. Would you please finish the last line of the section Resistance? And a few lines above, I suppose "radials" is a typo. Would "radicals" be your word or Schippers´ s?Ruud Buitelaar (talk) 03:42, 12 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, radials was a typo! Radicals would be my word here. Schippers writes: "Betty Boeke-Cadbury, the wife of Kees Boeke, the founder of the Werkplaats Kindergemeenschap in Bilthoven, also gives a picture of his views and activities in the 1920s. She first met Westerweel at a demonstration against the elections that took place in their Bilthoven back gardens. The anarchists and other extreme left-wing activists regarded the elections as a sort of mass deception that had little to do with real democracy." (p. 39)
More about the Werkplaats appears in chapter 3, which is entitled "Joop Westerweel and the Left-Wing Radical Milieu in the 1920s and 1930s," so it seemed to be that radicals might be an apt description. It wasn't quite clear to me that they were anarchists at that time, though Schippers characterizes Kees as an anarchist later (p. 46). I couldn't find anything about how Beatrice identified, as it were, politically. I don't have a strong opinion about this, though: if you have strong feelings another way, feel free to substitute a more precise word!
I finished the other sentence, too. Thanks for your help!! Thellomerca (talk) 02:45, 22 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
