Virginia Woolf (1882-1941)

Art by by Kristina Rowell (website, tumblr)

One of the most important modernist writers, Virginia Woolf wrote fifteen books including novels, short story collections, and biographies.  Her work was often experimental and included techniques such as stream of consciousness. Frustrated by the limitations placed on women, Virginia focused on female characters in her fiction and advocated for greater female empowerment in her nonfiction.  A leader of the Bloomsbury group, Virginia ran Hogath Press with her husband, publishing some of the most influential writers of the early 20th century including TS Eliot, Gertrude Stein, and Sigmund Freud.

For those of you who are tired of hearing about sexism, imagine how much more tired the rest of us are of constantly experiencing it.

So please ask yourself: What would I do if I weren’t afraid? And then go do it.

… und über die Christenverfolgung in Nordkorea verlieren Sie kein Wort?

  Heimat großer Töchter, Söhne – so hab ich in meiner letzten Kolumne den neuen Text unserer Bundeshymne zitiert. Seitdem E-Mail-Flut, viele empörte Zurechtweisungen: Es heiße Töchter UND Söhne. Schande über mich!

saying feminism is unnecessary because you don’t feel oppressed is like saying fire extinguishers are unnecessary because your house isn’t on fire
