Virginia Woolf - A Room of One's Own

Women still do not have the same rights as men. Virginia Woolf believed that there is no female Shakespeare, mainly because women are not given the same opportunities (education) as men. Their ideas and creative ways are more closely related to the realm of the home. Everyone had a negative idea of women writers. Many books written by women were eventually burned.

Virginia Woolf believes that writers (both men and women) should write from an objective point of view. One should not write with a chip on their shoulder.

Women were not allowed in certain libraries in London. Men started writing with male mentalities due to their fear of the women's movement. No rationality behind no allowing women to go into certain libraries.
