this new layout is confusing...

Which parts of Virgnia Woolf's argument are most compelling to you? What do you agree with? Disagree with? Explain.


The argument that is most compelling to me is that women need a room of their own to write in. I don't think that they need a small quiet room to write in because what are they going to write about? There's nothing going on in there. I think it's better that they write where there's distractions because that way, they can write about the world around them and what's going on. For example, Jane Austen wrote in the living room where it was busy all the time. Look at how popular Pride and Prejudice still is today. She wrote about what the people around her were doing. If she were to sit in a quiet room by herself, she probably write something like "Sitting in a room. Nothing is happening." That's boring. So I don't think you need a room of your own to write.

  1. That is true that Jane Austen did write in a busy place but she probably had a goal to write whether she was by her self or in a full room.

  2. a women needs a room (and I will drop-kick whoever says that our room is the kitchen) and time for herself to write. With a room comes time and then money and then brilliance.
