Aletta Henriëtte Jacobs is a feminist icon for being the first woman to successfully finish a university education and also the first woman to become a doctor in the Netherlands, as well as her work for women's rights, deregulating prostitution, and starting the world's first birth control clinic. The text roughly translates to: "In this house has lived and worked Doctor Aletta H Jacobs, she was the first woman who obtained the doctor title at a Dutch university and made a path for those who came after her. Women of future generations owe her a great deal of gratitude."
