Vrouw in het verzet, Bronze war memorial in Kenaupark, Haarlem, Netherlands.

The monument features a standing female figure cast in bronze, reaching 2.15 meters in height on a stone pedestal measuring 1.60 meters.

Unveiled by Princess Juliana on May 3, 1982, this memorial honors resistance fighter Hannie Schaft, who was executed by German forces in April 1945.

The memorial represents the often overlooked role of Dutch women who participated in resistance activities during World War II through intelligence gathering and sabotage operations.

The memorial serves as a gathering point for annual commemorations held on the last Sunday of November, attended by local residents and officials.

Created by resistance member Truus Menger-Oversteegen, the sculpture bears the name of her fellow resistance fighter Hannie Schaft on its pedestal.
