Virginia Woolf
-She wrote all this is response to a question about women's relationship with fiction
-Why hasn't there been a female Shakespeare?!
-->It will happen in 100 years..! We hope..! Still waiting for 2028... women have not been given the same oppotunities for these amount of years
Why is there no female Shakespeare?
-Women have not been given the same oppotunities in education
-Women have been creating for centuries... in the medium of the home
-Think about Shakespeare's time... MEN were the ones who played women; women were not to act!
-->Women actors and writers were considered whores because, naturally, they just wanted to be with men... HA!
-->Men have a very high opinion of themselves, don't they?
Should women write like men, according to Woolf?
-Anybody who writes with a chip on their shoulder
-Think about when the man told her she could not walk on the grass because she was a woman. Her body differs from those [men] who are allowed on the grass
-->Prejudices... in the 1920's LESS THAN A CENTURY AGO!
-All the men are writing like MEN because of the women's movement
-->The way that men establish their own self confidence by putting down others
-->"It's not me I hate; it's her."
-By women writing like women and men writing like men, it is further increasing the problems.
