Preface
If you have other things in your life – family, friends, good productive day work – these can interact with your writing and the sum will be all the richer. David Brin
I would like to thank Malgosia Fitzmaurice, Frank Maes, Marc Pallemaerts, André Nollkaemper, and Rosa Uylenburg for taking the time to read and assess my work and for providing me with valuable comments on an earlier draft.
I thank René Lefeber for forcing me to think outside the box and helping me find a voice. Your inspirational guidance and continuous encouragement have made me the envy of many a PhD candidate.
I would like to thank Marlon Boeve, Mireille van Rijn-Bogaart, Inge de Bruyne, Frank Groothuijse, Bibi Krot, Liselotte Smorenburg-van Middelkoop, Marjolein Visser, Liesbeth Vogelezang-Stoute, Josephine van Zeben, and especially Marleen Wessel, for their unceasing support and friendship.
A special word of gratitude goes to my mother, Natasha Nankman, for having faith in me, always.
And last, but not least, I thank my husband Chris du Plessis for his infinite patience, love, and generosity. Without you, it would not have been possible.
