In page Kenau Simonsdochter Hasselaer:

"

It was the Haarlem doctor and historian Dr. C. Ekama who first questioned the Kenau legend in 1872 on the eve of the tricentenary celebrations. He pointed out that neither she nor any other woman had been placed on the list of 'war criminals' after the Spanish took control, while her 18-year-old cousin Pieter Dirksz Hasselaer, a member of the schutterij, was on the list and was arrested, though later released.[1] However, women were generally not seen as war criminals or beheaded, and thus not mentioned as such. Additionally, women fighting to defend a city were not uncommon in that time such as during the attack of Antwerp in 1576 (Spaanse Furie) where a citizen's army of 12,000 men and women built ramparts and fought against the Spanish.[citation needed]
