I don't love the writing style, but I don't hate it either. I kind of like it. I like stream of consciousness, pure, raw unfiltered thoughts but it also feels like they must've paid by the letter in the olden days :/

Virginia Woolf said nonbinary lesbian rights also Ginny girlie you would've loved Visual Pleasure and Narrative Cinema by Laura Mulvey.

I don't like the phrase "fall on deaf ears" like deaf people can't help being deaf. They're not ignoring you on purpose. That's what I tagged ableism.

 “A woman must have money and a room of her own if she is to write fiction.”

I always have a somewhat complicated relationship with Vírgínia Woolf. Her style, stream of consciousness, is a literary style that I struggle with. But I was really surprised when I actually could read this book the first time I tried it (Mrs Dalloway took me three times). And I really liked it! 

It is supposed to be a book about women writing fiction, but it goes much further. It talks about the role of women in fiction and in society. It isn't a book about feminism, but it is a feminist book, that I strongly recommend. It's one of those books that I think everyone should read at least one time.

I think I would've enjoyed this essay more if we weren't forced to read and answer questions on it in AP Lang.

Un libro assolutamente illuminante. Una lettura che definire come un must per tutte le donne e le persone che si considerano femministe. Mi ha dato tanti punti di riflessione che sicuramente ricorderò e porterò avanti con me nella mia vita di tutti i giorni.
