In this little book, Virginia Woolf's style is revealed through her reflections. We must both let go to follow it and stay focused to fully grasp the scope of what it defends, a considerable range in 1928, when Great Britain was barely out of the Elizabethan shackles.
It is dense, and the demonstration is masterful of all women's obstacles to exercising their creativity and making a living from their art. Humor and irony add to the subject's relevance, making it delightful to read.
Reviewed the masculine preconceived ideas, in particular among the authors, the social and financial shackles, and the attempts to counter any feminine initiative outside the assigned role: I now understand the fundamental place of Virginia Woolf in modern feminism.

“What is meant by “realityâ€�? It would seem to be something very erratic, very undependable—now to be found in a dusty road, now in a scrap of newspaper in the street, now a daffodil in the sun. It lights up a group in a room and stamps some casual saying. It overwhelms one walking home beneath the stars and makes the silent world more real than the world of speech—and then there it is again in an omnibus in the uproar of Piccadilly. Sometimes, too, it seems to dwell in shapes too far away for us to discern what their nature is. But whatever it touches, it fixes and makes permanent. That is what remains over when the skin of the day has been cast into the hedge; that is what is left of past time and of our loves and hates.”

"(...) Na extensão de céu azul reluziam mil estrelas. Uma parecia sozinha nessa inescrutável sociedade. Todos os seres humanos dormiam - deitados de borco, na horizontal, mudos. Ninguém parecia mexer-se nas ruas de Oxbridge. Até a porta do hotel se abriu de repente com o toque de uma mão invisÃvel - nem um criado estava levantado para me alumiar até ao quarto, era muito tarde."

"(...) «Hoje vi uma mulher», como outrora se dizia: «Vi um aeroplano». Pode acontecer qualquer coisa quando a feminilidade tiver deixado de ser protegida, pensei eu ao abrir a porta. Mas que tem isto a ver com o tema do meu artigo «As Mulheres e a Ficção»? Interroguei-me acerca disto ao entrar em casa."

"(...) Portanto a sua poesia flui livre e sem entraves. Se alguma vez um ser humano conseguiu que a sua obra alcançasse uma realização plena, esse foi Shakespeare. Se alguma vez um espÃrito foi genial, sem limites, pensei voltando-me outra vez para a estante, esse foi Shakespeare."

"Dêem-lhe mais cem anos, concluÃ, ao ler o último capÃtulo - os narizes e os ombros nus das pessoas apareciam contra um céu estrelado, pois alguém tinha puxado a cortina na sala de visitas - dêem-lhe um quarto só para ela e quinhentas libras por ano, deixem-na dizer aquilo que pensa, eliminar metade do que agora escreveu e um dia destes há-de fazer um livro melhor.

Agreed. It was only reading this that made me realise why she was a feminist icon and how incredibly ahead of her time she was.
