Antje de Waaij-Blom was one of the last women who walked in traditional costume on Schouwen-Duiveland every day.

With their white veil hats and dark gowns, the women at Schouwen-Duiveland wore a characteristic regional costume. Because an elite of wealthy farmers set the tone, regional costume developed here in the nineteenth century close to civilian fashion. The men on Schouwen-Duiveland already gave up the costume in the mid-nineteenth century, the women were attached to their costumes for much longer.

The statue was placed in 2012 by the Renesse Foundation. Residents were allowed to vote for the person whose statue they wanted. That became De Waaij, because of its special services to the environment. "She was the very last woman who walked in 'pregnant' every day

Antje died in 1981.

Antje's statue has been stolen and found twice. The statue has now been given a different place. The statue of Antje de Waaij-Blom has been replaced not on the edge of the village, but proudly on the Ring of Dreischor. The village council expects it to be safer there.
