liandatel 's review for:
A Room of One's Own
by Virginia Woolf
challenging
emotional
informative
reflective
sad
medium-paced
Such a famous book, I can see why. Especially as a writer myself, I hear her call for more female writers. It feels like she’s directly speaking to me and putting expectations on women writers everywhere. No pressure or anything!
At multiple points in the book and stopped to imagine the philosophical questions she poses on what art, history and writing would’ve been like if women had had equal rights as men throughout history.
I did have a hard time with the dense text and mix of fiction and essay structure. Lots of timely references were unknown to me, so I found it difficult to separate between real references and fictional characters. Nothing an online search couldn’t help!
