‘there is no gate, no lock, no bolt that you can set upon the freedom of my mind.�
i am so, so, so grateful as a woman to live in a time where my education is an expectation and my creativity is encouraged. i try to imagine myself 100 years in the past and i hope i would be the kind of woman woolf was - someone who understood the importance of granting women equal opportunities in work and school and who bravely expressed her opinions.
and what i would give to be able to have attended the lecture where woolf delivered this speech. i will admit i sometimes struggled with reading the stream-of-consciousness style this address employs and i definitely think a verbal presentation of the essay would be much more effective.
regardless, i appreciate woolf, and authors like her, who inspired the movement for gender equality, especially in the field of literature.

i think she's amazing, her life story and her work. but i too have trouble with her writing style, i read mrs dalloway last year and it was a real struggle. maybe this style just isn't for me!?by the way, i love your reviews!
dean - i hope you get a chance to pick this up soon. i think you will enjoy woolfs thoughts!tabata - yeah, that could be. sometimes certain writing styles just dont click with readers. it happens. but im glad you also think shes amazing! :)
