Social Careers Across Imperial Spaces: An Empire Family in the Dutch-British World, 1811-1933

Here the object biography of a scale model of an old Dutch colonial sugar factory directs us to the history of an extended family, and demonstrates the connectedness of people and identities across and within European imperial spaces in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. This case study shows how people in colonial Indonesia became 'Dutch' through their social networks and cultural capital (for instance a European education). They even came to belong to the colonial and national Dutch elites while, because of their descent, also belonging to the British colonial and national elites. These intertwined Dutch and British imperial spaces formed people's identities and status: the family discussed here became an important trans-imperial patrician family with a broad imperial 'spatial imagination', diverse identities and social circles. It was mostly women who played important roles in these transnational processes-roles indeed that they played well into the early twentieth century when colonial empires ceased to exist and the nation-state became the 'natural' social and political form of the modern world, obscuring these transnational processes.

Corporate elites have been all-male bastions until the twenty-first century. The recent inclusion of women in the corporate elite needs explanation because it is an abrupt change in recruitment practices. We consider female presence in corporate boards as a sign of the democratization of elite social networks. Building on a case study of the Netherlands that covers the last four decades, we show that the corporate elite has become more open to nonmembers of traditional elites. In the process, women have also entered the boardroom. Initially, these were predominantly female politicians, but more recently many large corporations have recruited foreign females. We argue that the incremental feminization of the corporate elite was in the beginning-that is in the 1970s-initiated by the state but was subsequently pushed forward by the internationalization of corporate governance. We have traced the professional background of all
