A dear friend gave me this book when I started writing – it’s precious to me because he knew it would encourage me to find my voice.
It is the ultimate companion text for a female writer. I have been inspired by Virginia Woolf’s work to become a writer myself, to find a room of my own. Spanning decades, Woolf sent the message that a woman will battle the externally imposed silence on her imagination and her choices, and, with her own physical and metaphorical room, she can create literary greatness.
Or not – she may simply create her own…
From Tracey's list on how women find their voices, despite obstacles and opposition.
I came late to this book, only having read it recently because one of my kids needed help researching for an IB school project.
It blew my mind. Woolf gave words to so many of the feelings that I had shoved down deep about being a woman and an artist.
From Alexandra's list on menopause as a superpower for women who are happy to jump off the rollercoaster of youth.
