About This Novel
A companion volume to "She Wants to Buy Her Own Flowers" and "A Room of One's Own", this book is a sharper and more thorough female self-revolution. This book selects Woolf's representative essays on core issues such as women, writing, freedom, and rights. It is a collection of newly edited essays on Woolf's thoughts. In this book, Woolf moves feminism from the external demands of "having money and having a room of one's own" to the internal revolution of "killing the 'angel in the house'". "She Wants to Die and Paris" is a collection of love letters written by Flaubert to Louise, the prototype of Madame Bovary. "She both wanted to die and wanted to go to Paris" are Flaubert's original words inspired by Louise when he created Madame Bovary's Emma. They are also the most touching footnote of this book - dedicated to everyone who longs to escape but is trapped by life. This is not a fictional novel, but an archive of real emotions; it is not only love literature, but also a documentary of how a writer refines love into language.
