| Summary: | The subject-matter of the article by Freda Dröes is the life and work of Nicolette Bruining (1996-1963). After having presented an overall picture of all the women who obtained a Doctor of Theology degree in the Netherlands (see Proeven, l), attention is now focused on the first group, the generation obtaining a Ph.D. between 1913 and 1918: Gerlings, Bruining, Vogelsang, Mankes-Zernike. Can Nicolette Bruining be characterized as a "grand lady of liberal Protestantism hut no theologian"? Dröes analyses this as a false antithesis. The exemplary way in which Bruining ( daughter of professor of Theology Alb. Bruining) makes the most of her marginal position as a woman, in openness to science and culture, makes her a precursor of Women's studies in Theology. As a financially and intellectually independent woman, she creates new places of refuge for intellectual life: she founds the VPRO and she partakes in shaping several non-conformist-'ecumenical' milieus and domains of women's culture. To Bruining, religion is not bondage to an ecclesiastical tradition, hut the awareness of a bond with the 'intellectual world'. In Bruining's exploration of the intellectual currents of her time, she is, according to Dröes, led by her interest in the interface between science and search for meaning (hermeneutics of human existence) and she enters into a discussion with the works of other women reflecting on religion. |
