All I could do was to offer you an opinion upon one minor point—a woman must have money and a room of her own if she is to write fiction; and that, as you will see, leaves the great problem of the true nature of woman and the true nature of fiction unsolved.-Ch. 1 -Virginia Woolf
I admire her. I deeply admire her works though i had just read the two of them. I hope to be finding more of her great, mind-stirring works at the library.
I'm fortunate to have ran my eyes and stopped at the query title on the shelf while I'm looking for a J.D Salinger book. that is when i found Mrs. Dalloway. After reading it I subjected myself to reading more of her works and that lead me to A Room Of One's Own, which i may say, really struck and justified my rights as a woman and an ever struggling writer.
While reading her biography, I had found out that we have some things in common, like being bipolar, distressed from having focus on things like reading and writing long enough, there are times that we could be highly vivacious and gay and entertaining as well as give long periods for serious writing.
When I looked at her picture in the internet, I was awed for a while when a very familiar face came out. That is when a cue bring out memories in the past. I remember myself staring at the picture of this woman in our encyclopedia back in my childhood days. I was just looking at her because I found her beautiful on the semi-side profile pose. I think, since then, every time i read our encyclopedia, I never miss a chance to look at her picture. I came to know that she's famous, but i did't know in what aspect it is. I engraved her face in my long term memory that's when I came to see her picture again in the internet, ergo i was awed. "i'm happy to meet you again Ms. Virginia Woolf."
