Reading Notes Week 12 Part A

I thought Virginia Woolf's "A Room Of One's Own," from pages 336 - 371, was interesting, in the sense of her talking about women and fiction. There were times that I felt Woolf was trying to inconspicuously say that women can't hack it in the world of fiction; yet she talks about different ways fiction and women sort of intertwine. I've often felt that in male-dominated jobs, men seem to demean women, as if women can't write, much less write fiction. I also thought it to be kind of funny when Woolf writes, "a woman must have money and a room of her own if she wants to write fiction." What an ironic thought; I mean, yes, it'd be great for any person, male of female, to have their own room to write fiction, but why would you also have to have money to write fiction?
