"If Shakespeare had a sister as talented as he, would she have got the same opportunities to develop her skills?"
It's an essay written by Virgina Wolf for the topic Women and fiction. It's a modern feminism classic. You may wonder what women and fiction has to do with A room of One's own.. but the author explains that when a woman want to write anything or think anything unobstrictively she needs a room that can be locked and money of her own. She depicts the baises and conventional attitudes which caused suffering to write anything by a women.
It's a short but profound read which mades me think a lot about the obstructions the previous generations faced and privileges we are having right now but also new type of obstructions facing now. She really is a fiction author because the way she seemingly jumps from one scenario to other is very novel and her thoughts about the women's role in writing fiction is very practical.
I liked the way she ended the essay without any hate speech upon men and only highlighting the issue for a need for the freedom of women to develop their own strengths.

Just a university read but this was a reread. It's always good to go back a Virginia Woolf you read before and see what changes.

holy shit this essay. never in my life have i felt so stupid and inferior while reading a book. woolf is so smart and intelligent and talented it's actually insane. her ideas, her thoughts, are all pure gold and i wish this was taught in schools more because people can really benefit from her words.
such a nice short read and it's super mindblowing.

Primero que nada el hecho que le hubieran pedido dar una charla breve para chicas jóvenes sobre "la mujer y la novela" a la señora Virginia y ella hizo un discurso de una hora y tanto que ni siquiera alcanzó a decirlo completo y por eso lo volvieron libro/ensayo me parece icónico.
Su tesis de que una mujer necesita una habitación propia y su independencia monetaria para poder escribir MUY REAL. Virginia Woolf se saca 30 tramas / citas (es una exageración) en 5 páginas de distintos autores de distintos siglos como si nada, amiga cómooooo y después se tira unos chistes??? Y dice algo ultra moderno que se podría leer perfectamente en un artículo feminista de la semana pasada.
No paraba de pensar que me hubiera encantado conocerla y conversar con ella, suena tan interesante y apasionada. 1000/10 todos deberían leer este libro es genial. Intenté leerlo más lento para digerir algunas partes mejor pero no lo logré mucho. Muchísimas cosas son relevantes para el día de hoy y terminaron inspirándome mucho.
Gracias por todo, Virginia
