Slater's pins have no points:
yeah, i get it virginia, the good old lesbian fantasy of hooking up in a cathedral
we have all been there girl

read for my diss and iâm finally marking it as âfinishedâ even though i only dipped in and out of it - now that my diss is done i feel like a woolf expert, but maybe iâll read the book in full one day. she is so wonderful

this is my first virginia woolf read, and i absolutely loved it!! she writes with such purpose, and with a simplicity that makes you truly connect with what sheâs writing about. seeing these little snippets of her life, these moments of being, feels like a really good way to get into her other works with more context about her life. kind of worried by how much i understood her, but hey i havenât drowned myself in the ocean quite yet. 10/10 slay

Interestingly one of my favorite selections of her writing as Iâve read through her works chronologically. Candid and fascinating.

Provides great insight into the origins of Virginia Woolf's life and thought, and on a broader scale, the transition from Victorian to Edwardian values and beyond. A wonderful complement to reading her diaries and/or novels and essays.

Last three essays werenât my fav but the first two memoirs⊠<3 really gave context for my favorite novels, seeing how much of to the lighthouse was autobiographical based on her relationship with her parents and how much inspiration she took from her disdain for the atmosphere she was raised in for mrs dalloway. Really cool, personal writings from someone whose fiction I love so much. Iâve also adopted the idea of âmoments of beingâ into my lexiconâ I used to call these my âMary Oliver moments.â Moments when you feel alive and full of clarity and in communion with the worldâ I love that she calls them moments of Being and I will be explaining that to anyone I ever go on a walk with for the rest of time :-)
