Woolf

According to Virginia Woolf "a woman must have money and a room of her own if she is to write fiction" and I would have to agree. I would agree with Paula Maggio when she links freedom and empowerment of Woolf's "room" to blogs. Blogs allow anyone, no matter race, age, sex, or location to openly express their ideas. People can write about anything they want on blogs and though someone may criticize them for it, they still have the ability to get their ideas out and put it in writing. It's like having our own little "room" where we can go and openly express ourselves and write what we feel with out being faced with some one telling us what to write or what to think.

Woolf really sheds a light on the history of women writers and the things they had to overcome to become good writers. She makes you think about the importance of getting your ideas out and having a "room" in which this is possible.
