Aletta Henriëtte Jacobs was a pioneering Dutch physician and women's suffrage activist. She was the first woman officially admitted to a Dutch university, becoming one of the country's first female physicians. In 1882, she founded the world's first birth control clinic and led campaigns for women's rights, including calls for voting rights and improved working conditions. Jacobs provided medical services to women and children and later focused on activism to improve women's lives, eventually achieving significant legal changes for women's equality.
