One of my favorite bits: “Opinions that one now pastes in a book labeled cock-a-doodledum and keeps for reading to select audiences on summer nights once drew tears, I can assure you. Among your grandmothers and great-grandmothers there were many that wept their eyes out.”

So grateful for women like Woolf who fought for the “freedom of mind” that I now enjoy. I hope to improve the world as they did for future women.

LOVED. Such a ballsy two fingers up at the patriarchy. Even more heroic to think she spoke and published these words in the 1920s when women had barely just won the right to vote. "yeah well women probably would be historically great writers if you'd ever fucking let us learn to read" was probably my favourite moment. That and realising Woolf only invented the bloody Bechdel test!! What?! The woman was a god damn icon
