    <body><![CDATA[I tend to find Virginia Woolf books slow-moving and tedious and after making my way through the first chapter of this speech-turned-book, I was afraid that I would never find a Woolf book that didn't bore me to tears or cause me to think of other things while reading. Yet I continued on to the second chapter and was rather glad that I did. This short little book is not to be missed, especially for the ladies out there. Woolf brings up some very interesting points: Why are books about women written about men? (Back then those were the only books she could find at the library.) Why can't women do the same things as men? Why are women relegated to childbirth and cleaning? Why aren't women allowed to write? I must say, if someone paid me $500 a year (more when you factor in inflation) and gave me a room of my own and said &quot;Write!&quot;, then I would probably be a better writer than I am today. Or not, but I would still very much enjoy getting paid to write all day long from the comforts of my own home.]]></body>
