A Room of One's Own
A long essays from two readings about how difficult it has been for women to make a mark in literature. I won't try to summarise here suffice to say that it's an interesting read especially looking at how much has changed, and not, since 1928. Many of her predictions have come true mainly based around women needing a room of their own to write in and £500 a year (take inflation into account!) to give them time to write. Some of her views as to women playing football are a little odd as it was very popular after WWI but maybe someone from her upbringing didn't go see football. Worth a read and I must read more of her stuff.
