DemonessTenebrae

It is amazing how Virginia can make you think about things that would never cross your mind otherwise. I can not imagine how she must've felt when the doors of the library were closed right in front of her because she was a woman...
Her book is exploring and thinking and making sense of our history, of our world and of us females. Would we be acknowledged sooner if we started to claim our rights as our birth rights as humans earlier in our history? Well, I imagine we would. If the pioneers of our rights would've fought and died sooner. But that is all what ifs...
The idea she represents is that a woman to be a good writer must have a room of her own and money to live by. Women like Jane Austen had none of that. They were interrupted all the time, hiding their stories and their papers. They had no way of earning money so they had no choice but to stay where they were. On the other hand, women writers who were left with the money and a place of their own were driven to their early deaths by the unacceptance of others (men and women alike).
All those ideas and much more is what this book is telling us, driving us in... making us feel glad that we live in a time where we can be our true selves and do what we were meant to and make all those women who fought for us proud.
