Virginia Woolf: one of the most important feminist writers.

What is so special about Virginia Woolf? Her style? Her aesthetics? Her feminist voice? I would say a combination of all and particularly the fact that she dared to walk a path totally forbidden for the women of her era. And that was literary writing. She is mostly admired for her book-length essay A Room of One's Own, where she briefly states that a woman must have her own place and money in order to write fiction.

- Someone has to die in order that the rest of us should value life more.
-Women have served all these centuries as looking glasses possessing the power of reflecting the figure of man at twice its natural size.
