pickThis was my first Virginia Woolf book and I liked it. Though this was published in 1929, I feel that much of Woolf's arguments are true today. She described women in fiction, such as writers and women mentioned in literature. Woolf pretty much uses various examples as to why women need money and a room of their own in order to write.

bailedI tried so hard to read this. I‘d make it about 5 pages before sleep would take me. I know she‘s working towards a specific point but it‘s hard to see in the overly descriptive retelling of her day.

panI‘ll be honest, I have no idea what I read - I just know Woolf‘s style isn‘t for me. So much double speak and description of minutiae for no real reason. Only one of the stories in this collection was enjoyable to me…but even then its point felt confused. #AuthorAMonth

bailedI tried Virginia Woolf for the first time and she is definitely not for me. I hope other #AuthorAMonth readers have better luck!

I really enjoyed this glimpse into the rural life of VW and her fellow authors.
🌿 What did you think of the biography?
🌿 Did the accounts of VW's contemporaries, Townsend-Warner & Lehmann, help give context into her world?
