Nel van Beek-van Koten was an artist from the Dutch feminist movement of the early 1970s. For Het Vrije Volk, she drew the 'Dol en Mina' comic from 1971 to 1972. In this comic, of which the title is a reference to the Women's Lib Movement Dolle Mina, she gave her social critisism on an average middle-class family. Later on, her comic 'Floor Blom' appeared in the same paper. She also drew for Sekstant and the American Berkeley Barb magazine. She also designed various posters for the movement, such as the famous 'Baas in Eigen Buik' ('Boss in own Belly') poster. She was known in Utrecht for her posters for action centre De Kargadoor. Nel van Beek-van Koten passed away in December 2009.
