Aagje Deken

Aagje decene, actually Agatha Deken, ( born December 10, 1741 Amstelveen, † November 14, 1804 in The Hague) was a Dutch poet.

Life

Aagje decene was the child of impoverished countrymen and was a three- year-old orphaned. She was admitted to the orphanage the Rhynsburger Gianten colleagues in Amsterdam and educated there. Some poetic attempts Dekens prompted the Amsterdam literary society Diligentiae omnia to provide for their education. Deken came as a companion to poetess Maria Bosch, who was her friend. After the death of Maria Bosch in 1773 Deken initially had no employment. In 1777 it was taken by Betje Wolff (born Elizabeth Bekker ), widow of the Reformed preacher Adrian Wolff and even a famous writer as a shareholder. With Betje Wolff together they wrote a series of novels. As a poet himself Aagje Deken stood out particularly in the religious song. The Dutch feminist Johanna Naber wrote a biography of A. decene.
