Life, Career
September 24, 1813
Mariëtte took inspiration from her mother and decided to pursue a career in nursing. She underwent training and started working at a local hospital where she was later asked to work in the field hospitals. Due to her opposition to the French government, Mariëtte began working at the hospitals of the opposition. It was there that she met a wounded soldier named Georgius Rothfeld, who expressed his interest in her. However, Mariëtte remained professional and did not entertain his advances. After completing her work, Mariëtte returned to France and did not expect Georgius to come looking for her. Initially hesitant, Mariëtte eventually agreed to have a long-distance relationship with Georgius.
