Early life

[edit]

Johanna Jagersma[1] was born on 1 November 1951 in Wymbritseradiel in the Netherlands. She studied at the mulo, the havo, and the social academy. She became a member of the Communist Party of the Netherlands (CPN) in 1974. She worked from 1975 until 1982 as coordinator for elderly care in the municipalities of Finsterwolde, Nieuweschans, and Beerta.[2]

Jagersma was a member of the States of Groningen from 1978 until 1982, where she was leader of the CPN.[2]

On 1 April 1982, she became mayor of Beerta and was the first communist mayor in the Netherlands.[3][4] In 1983, she was the first mayor in the Netherlands to receive maternity leave while she was in office.[5] Jagersma did not join GroenLinks, into which the Communist Party merged in 1989.[6] On 1 January 1990, Beerta was merged into Reiderland due to municipal reorganisations, and Jagersma was not appointed mayor of the new municipality.[3][7]

After politics

[edit]

Jagersma works as manager for Humanitas, a Dutch care organisation. It was reported in 2013 that she became member of the Socialist Party.[6] She was a member until September 2017.[citation needed]
