I need a room of my own.
I recently read Virginia Woolf's A ROOM OF ONE'S OWN. I was facinated. The book was essentially Woolf's essay on the development of writer's of the quote/unquote fairer sex. She made some bold statements, such as the "A woman could not have written the plays of Shakespeare during the time of Shakespeare." She dropped some amazing quotes from Jane Eyre, which I MUST now read. Plus, differentiated between "art" and "self expression".
There's so much goodness that as a writer I could relate to. As well, I found myself, though a male, relating to the plight of women through the ages, because as an Asian dude, throughout my life I wasn't exactly treated as on par with white males, who apparently oppressed EVERYBODY! LOL.
Anyway, if you haven't read this book, check it out.
