A Room of One's Own

Accordingly there are two things a woman must have: Money (an income), and a room of her own (in order to have the freedom to create)
She asks the question: Why is there no female Shakespeare?
A: Because even if there had been a woman with the same talents, she would not have been given the same education, opportunity, or social mobility to apply it.
The medium for women has not been through higher education, but in creative ideas in the home. Anybody who writes with a chip on their shoulder deters their end goal. She states that writers should attempt to keep an objective point of view. She says that all the men are writing like men, not objectively like they should be. This stems from the fact they are intimidated by the feminist movement. They are founded in the principle that they are better because women are worse. Deflecting negative self-image onto others in a large way. Shakespeare was a great writer because he came off as almost androgenous.
