    The essay “In search of a Room of One’s Own” by Virginia Woolf starts out by asking a simple question‚ what were the living conditions of women in England‚ in the time of Elizabeth? The author wants to understand why no woman had written any literature‚ unlike a man who was capable of a song or sonnet. It was as if the life of a woman was fiction. We must first start out by understanding how women were viewed in the public’s eye and then understand how they could not have been as smart as men; or

This kind of perverse logic‚ which has seldom been supported by the victims’ families themselves‚ fails to be convincing. In a similar

    EX 1: The differences between men’s and women’s colleges were considerable in Virginia Woolf’s day.
