Virginia Woolf's extended essay was very interesting. It was loved seeing her brilliant mind at work, addressing real-life issues.

Historically, I learned a lot about the role of women during that time, especially in the development of novels and fiction. The essay also shed light on feminism in that era, which was completely different from today's feminism.

Woolf made some brilliant observations about men and their discomfort with women taking on larger roles in society. She pointed out how men seemed threatened by the idea of women becoming equals because it challenged their sense of superiority.

While reading, I couldn't help but think that Woolf's insights applied to other areas of life, particularly in situations where one group holds power over another. The idea that dominant groups feel threatened when faced with equality is thought-provoking. It reminded me of similar dynamics in the context of race, where those in power often resist the idea of equality, fearing a loss of their advantage.

We should all read this essay.
