Monthly Blog- February

A Room of One's Own caught my interest this week so I thought that I would write a little bit about that. Virginia Woolf writes this as an essay which I dont really like to read but the idea of the essay sparked my interest. She discusses how women are not treated as well at they should be and there are huge differences in the way men and women are looked at. Woolf begins her essay looking at different points and one that caught my eye was how she refers to a library as a treasure house. This just goes to show how much value she took in learning and reading and how other people take these things for granted. To her, book were like treasures in that they should be taken care of and handled with care. Another thing that was interesting was how different the two meals were between the two sexes. At the men's luncheon party, all the food was elaborate and extremely delicious and everyone there was having a great time. But when she talks about how the women's dinner party is Woolf describes a mediocre dinner that really wasn't anything to be happy about. I just thought it as interesting how different the men and the women were treated during her time period and how they were even served different food.
