Ina Boudier - Bakker was a Dutch writer She is best known for De klop op de deur (The Knock at the Door), a novel from 1930 about three generations of wealthy Amsterdammers in the years 1858-1918 in a changing world: the rise of socialism, the emancipation of women, the growth of technology, and the erosion of class society.[1] On 2 November 1942 Anne writes that she can't drag herself away from The Knock at the Door. She thinks that the novel is "exceptionally well written, but what is says about war, writers, or the emancipation of women is not so well done, but then quite honestly I'm not awfully interested."
