Damesleesmuseum, Reading museum and library in The Hague, Netherlands.
The Damesleesmuseum maintains a collection of 35,000 books in Dutch, French, English, and German languages at Nassauplein 15.
In 1894, twelve women from The Hague established this reading circle to provide literary access for female readers during a period of limited opportunities.
The museum functions as a meeting point for literature enthusiasts, featuring regular lectures by authors, historians, and cultural figures throughout the year.
Members pay 10 euros for lectures while non-members are charged 12.50 euros, with advance online registration required due to limited seating.
The museum's historical catalogue lists document women's reading preferences from 1894 to 1902, contributing valuable data to the WomenWriters database.
