Famous Dutch Women
From one of the most liberal places on Planet Earth Netherlands comes liberated, free-thinking blondes who are beautiful, attractive, lovely and gorgeous to look at! But that is not all what Dutch women are about – they may not be fiercely independent but know how to take things in their stride, they may seem subservient but when times come they take complete control over matters, they have a sense of both wit and wisdom! For centuries, Dutch women have stamped their excellence over diverse fields, be it as painter or artists, scientists or writers, revolutionaries or military leaders.
