this book was not at all what i expected, but it definitely surprised me in a very positive way. its shining moments were particularly the ones where Virginia touched upon the nature of fiction itself and also on the shape of each genre, which may fit one’s individual style more than another.
the aspect of materiality as a necessary tool for creativity is still as relevant as it was in the early twentieth century, as well as the importance of complex female characters and their relationships in regards to other women.
it was witty, well informed and interestingly structured, and will definitely linger with me for a long time to come.

"Women have served all these centuries as looking glasses possessing the magic and delicious power of reflecting the figure of man at twice its natural size."
"Have you any notion how many books are written about women in the course of one year? Have you any notion how many are written by men? Are you aware that you are, perhaps, the most discussed animal in the universe?"

Its always one Ive been meaning to read, and finally got to it. Its wonderfully written, with the history of women in society interwoven with the process of writing. She beautifully captures the many millions of our mothers and grandmothers whose stories have gone untold. This is definitely a text which has reverberated beyond its immediate audience into the consciousness of feminist thought and into mainstream culture. How influential this book has been on the standing of women and their status in less than 100 years shows how deeply this has ensnared the hearts of all who have read, and will continue to read this text.
