Cisca Dresselhuys


Lola Verkuil and Cisca Dresselhuys (r.) (1987)

Francisca Wilhelmina (Cisca) Dresselhuys (Leeuwarden, April 21, 1943) was from 1 November 1981 until April 1, 2008 (until her retirement) editor of Opzij, a feminist monthly magazine. Her journalistic career began at the wedding magazine.

Dresselhuys grew up as an offspring with an older brother and two older sisters, the youngest of whom was nine when she was born. At her eleventh, she lost her father.

On June 11, 2001, she received the Anne Vondeling Prize. This prize was awarded for her publications in the year 2000. The prize consisted of an amount of 5000 guilders and an image of Anne Vondeling. On December 8, 2008, Cisca Dresselhuys received the Mercur d'Or / LOF Price (Lucas-Ooms Fund) during the Magazine Gala. This prize is an oeuvre prize, which looks at special merit or meaning for the magazine subject over a longer period. The Mercur d'Or / LOF Price for Public Magazines has a sum of EUR 10,000, to be spent on an initiative for the magazine magazine. The winner determines what.

On March 1, 2011, her published the Book Drukker than ever before, in which interviews with several well-known 65-plus-workers, and in which she also discusses with Dick Swaab (known from the book We are our brain) the physical benefits of work after your 65th and with Douwe Draaisma (among other things The Vergeetboek) about the psychological added value of longer working.

As a republican, Dresselhuys said that Beatrix's abdication could be better seized to abolish the Dutch monarchy. Although she was pleased with how Máxima had been involved in the women's liberalization so far, she found it unfair how she had a role in the king's wife, despite the misleading appeals title 'queen'. If there were once again a female head of state, Dresselhuys preferred a president to the head of a republic "who has to earn it, must fight, take responsibility." Work
