Beautifully written, fascinating exploration of the effect the patriarcy had and has on womens ability to write and the way they wrote. Was pleasantly surprised of the simiarities the writing style had to that of Woolfs 'The Waves' - writing in a sort of stream of conciousness that picks up the same themes and ideas over and over again. The ideas expressed in the book are ones still very much related to feminist discussions today. Definitely worth a read. However an unfortunate reminder of the time the book was written and the fact that (as the premisse of the book also suggests) Woolf was not among the least priveledged at that time - comes in the form of offensive slurs used a few times thought.
