"For to help women to earn their livings in the professions is to help them to possess that weapon of independent opinion which is still their most powerful weapon."

I did enjoy this a lot and I really do like what Woolf writes about, I always did. But I'm not so sure about her writing style. It baffles me because one moment I love it, and the next I dislike it. The change can be so quick for me, like while I'm reading a paragraph.


She do be smart as fuck so I regrettably did not understand everything. Still illuminating!
medium-paced

An underrated radical feminist text.

Well as a long-time user of many run-on sentences Who has spent a fair amount of time or perusing the thesaurus it turns out that I owe a debt to Virginia Woolf that I am only now beginning to discover. In all a great book the flow is delightful and the rise and fall of action and passion goes from calm to crescendo well oiled symphony orchestra. Overall a nice master class in economic independence, the military industrial complex, nationalism and ethics, and that little germ that we like to call toxic masculinity.
