Saskia van Uylenburgh 1612-1642 was born into a patrician Family in Friesland. She married Rembrandt van Rijn in 1634 in Amsterdam. They had four children.Only one of them,Titus 1641-1668,survived early infancy. Saskia died in 1642,presumably from tuberculosis. Rembrandt painted her as role-model in different costumes,but never painted her as a portrait.
Stamp issued in commemoration of Rembrandt´s 400th birth anniversary on July 13th,2006. A nearly identical stamp was issued in the Netherlands.

The sisters Fromme,aquarell- and India Ink-painting by Johann Gottfried Schadow from 1804. Not much is known about the sisters.They were commoners. One of them,don´t know wether it is the right or the left on the prortrait,was "close" to Prince Louis Ferdinand of Prussia,with whom she had two children. The prince,a prussian general,composer and pianist,fell on the battle-field in 1806.

Germany,at the time still West-Germany started issuing a new definitive series "Women of German History" in 1986. During the running of the series important events in Germany´s history happened: 1990 the reunification with East-Germany (DDR/GDR) and in 2002 the introduction of the Euro-money. I´ll show the stamps of this series (as far as I have them) in chronlogical order. In response to my German acquaintance's comment on that my postal art lacks women figures, the first thing I did upon my return to Canada is to complete my collection of Women in German History. I have noticed that my European stamps featuring women are scare. It is a shame that embarrassing gender inequality has prevailed human history until recently. My Canadian stamps have a better gender-ratio than their European counterpart.

Some years ago, the italian definitive issue was devoted to the "Women in the Art". They already have been shown here... True or not, it was prepared a project for an additional stamp for this issue, face value 900L. But the image depitched was of a man (taken from the Cappella Sistina), rather than a woman. For this reason, the stamp issue has been withdrawn. This stamp, the "Man in the Art", raised a lot of discussion. Stamp not issued or prepared just to create a rarity for collectors?
