"Why are women, judging from this catalogue, so much more interesting to men than men are to women?
"literature is impoverished beyond our counting by the doors that have been shut upon women."
So far I think this may be my favorite classic. I’m always so impressed by Virginia Woolf, having only read her short essays it was long overdue that I begin my journey with her longer works. I am genuinely so inspired and filled with hope right now. I’m filled with gratitude for those women who have paved the way for other women in literature and I really do carry their influence with me in every sentence. I don’t always agree with Woolf, I find some of her opinions quite limiting, but that’s to be expected. The craftsmanship of every metaphor stirred something in my heart. I wonder what she would think about English literature being a female dominated course these days.
Thank you to Katie for gifting me this book and annotating every page with care.
