The charming philosophy of literary goddess Woolf is:
The way for smart women to be independent starts with owning a room of their own - an independent and free soul is the source of happiness. Being yourself is more important than anything else. This book originated from Woolf's lecture at Cambridge University. Once it was published, it became popular all over the world and moved millions of readers. It was hailed as "a spiritual book that inspires women's spiritual awakening."
"It stung me, made me cry, and tremble. I was so deeply moved that I wanted to read as slowly as possible, and slower. I would read a paragraph back and forth three or four times before moving on to the next paragraph." - American writer Paul Auster
Reader comments
"A woman who wants to write novels must have money and a room of her own." The room here refers not only to the material foundation, but also to a set of standards we set for how to deal with others. The ancients said that a woman's lack of talent is a virtue, but with the liberation of women's status, women of course also have financial independence. Independence, and the right to pursue creative inspiration; in addition, Woolf herself also regards the composition of the soul and the "freedom of the soul in the union of the two sexes", not to pursue so-called equality, but to awaken her own female consciousness, open to history and reality, but at the same time retain her own small space.
Looking for an independent and free soul will eventually lead to the best salvation. "For both sexes, I see them squeezing around on the sidewalk - life is difficult and difficult, and life is a permanent struggle that requires great courage and strength. We are animals with many illusions, so what we need most is confidence in ourselves. Without confidence, we are just like babies in the cradle." This book is very classic, very powerful, and worth reading.
Many people may think that this is a book about how to arrange and decorate your own room, but in fact it is a book that explores women's rights. As a book that explores women's rights, it explores the social status of European women from a different angle. The author's intention is also very unique. The symbol of women's rights can be having a room of one's own, and this room is not so easy to obtain. Getting a room that symbolizes women's rights and independence is a long and difficult process. The full text is thought-provoking.
I especially like her explanation of "having a room of your own", which is really an important symbol of women's pursuit of freedom and independence. There are some characters in the book that I hate, such as those traditional concepts that restrain women, but it is the existence of these characters that makes me cherish the female spiritual awakening advocated in the book even more. I also enjoyed the discussion about women's writing, which made me think more about my own writing. All in all, this is a book worth reading again and again!
