HW24 A Room's of Ones Own

After reading the final chapters in “A Room of One’s Own” by Virginia Woolf I have considered what Woolf says about where we have come in history and I believe she thinks that things are changing and women are beginning to have the same rights as men. For example, she states “Also, I continued, looking down at the page again, it is becoming evident that women, like men, have other interests besides the perennial interest of domesticity.” (Woolf Virginia, pg 83). This shows that women are now able to publish books but have different ideas than men do. Also she always says "Intellectual freedom depends upon material things. Poetry depends upon intellectual freedom. And women have always been poor, not for two hundred years merely, but from the beginning of time. . . . Women, then, have not had a dog's chance of writing poetry. That is why I have laid so much stress on money and a room of one's own." (Woolf, Virginia pg 108 ) This is why she believes that women were so unfortunate because they didn’t have the money that men did so it left them with less opportunities.
