Biography
Antje Schreuder, born in 1887, devoted her mind to the study of biology at a time when women were rare in the laboratories of Amsterdam, and she brought meticulous care to her observations of the region's waterways and flora.
Her colleagues recall her gentle exactness in mentoring students and her readiness to detail the quiet wonders of nature, and she lies now in Amsterdam's New Eastern Cemetery, leaving behind rigorous notes and a steady curiosity.
