An essential feminist essay detailing the physical, psychological, and financial hurdles women must overcome in order to become great writers and imagines the great things that could become if society bothered to create a space for women in the writing industry, in both the physical and metaphorical sense. I liked the article that accompanied this Everyman's Library edition but would have preferred it after the essay rather than before. It quotes from Woolf throughout, but it would have still made more sense if I had read the essay before the article.

When Virginia Woolf suggests women should have all their bills paid so they can write it's a feminist statement; but when I suggest the same I'm called a gold digger and sugar baby.

A classic - it was a pleasure to read it again, and it will be nice to see the beautiful new cover on shelves.
