Sjoukje Maria Diderika Troelstra-Bokma de Boer (née Bokma de Boer; 13 February 1860 – 9 January 1939), better known under her pseudonym Nienke van Hichtum (pronounced [ˈniŋkə vɑn ˈɦɪxtʏm]), was a well-known Frisian Dutch children's author and translator. Van Hichtum wrote books and stories in both West Frisian (her native language) and Dutch. The biennial Dutch literary award Nienke van Hichtum-prijs is named after her. In 2001, the film Nynke, a historical drama about her life directed by Pieter Verhoeff, won the Golden Calf for best feature film and actress. Source: Wikipedia (en)
