“Lock up your libraries if you like; but there is no gate, no lock, no bolt that you can set upon the freedom of my mind.”

I'm a little disappointed that I've never read a Virginia Woolf book. I feel like it should have been a safe place for me to retreat to when I was 20. She was way ahead of her time and there are so many thoughts and ideas that resonate with me.

However, I'm happy that I was finally able to read one of her books and now knowing a little about her, her story and her way of thinking, I can't wait to dive into all of her work.

This is an excellent and quite important book. It is one that all women should read at least once in their lives.

Questo libro non si può certo definire scorrevole, però è di una tale forza e trasmette tali valori fondamentali che non si può abbandonare ma anzi bisogna sottolinearne i pezzi per poi condividerli.

Tra i miei pezzi preferiti:
“Per tutti questi secoli le donne hanno svolto la funzione di specchi, dotati della magica e deliziosa proprietà di riflettere la figura dell'uomo a grandezza doppia del naturale.”

“Una volta che la femminilità abbia smesso di essere l’occupazione più protetta, chissà che cosa potrà accadere, pensavo, aprendo la porta.”
