Wilhelmina Jacoba Pauline Rudolphine "Mina" Kruseman (25 September 1839 – 1922) was a 19th-century Dutch feminist, actrice and author who used to call herself Oristorio di Frama. Mina Kruseman, was born in Velp, Gelderland as the oldest of 4 daughters of Hendrik Georg Kruseman (1802-1880) en Jennij Dorotheé Hermine Cornelie Cantzlaar (1810–1859). H.
G.
Kruseman, who went on to serve in the Dutch army in the Dutch East Indies, took the family with him.
Her growing up with three sisters in Samarang Dutch East Indies had some influence in her later writings.
But those years she had a feeling of freedom.
In her in 1877 published auto-biography Mijn leven (My life) there are a few citations, where she testifies of her happy life there.
In 1854 the family returned to the Netherlands.
Mina developed a deep aversion against the cold, small-city narrow-minded homeland and the restrictions that were imposed by decency, convention and religion, and certainly women were thereby the most affected. Other than her home country, she also spent a considerable part of her life in Belgium, France and United States.
