pickI can‘t believe I didn‘t read this before now. Virginia is magnificent. I heard that this was one of the first true feminist essays and it was awesome. She was witty and powerful. I loved the slightly sarcastic tone but also the way she demonstrated how the patriarchy has challenged and molded woman and our expression. The historical comparisons of woman in the arts with dogs is infuriating. A must read for anyone who calls themselves a feminist.
Leniverse My favourite Virginia Woolf. It's still so relevant as well, because even though a lot has improved women still do most of the emotional labour. Men can get themselves a man cave or shed in the garden without anyone batting an eyelid. Rarer for a woman to be able to carve out that space for herself if she has children. 3w
