This excerpt from an essay was written by whom: "Women, then, have not had so much as a dog's chance of writing poetry. That is why I have laid so much stress on money and having a room of one's own."
A. Jane Austen
B. Charlotte Perkins Gilman
C. Virginia Wolf
D. Kate Chopin
The answer is C. Virginia Wolf!
F.Y.I. This essay by Woolf examines whether women were capable of producing work of the quality of William Shakespeare, amongst other topics. In one section, Woolf invented a fictional character Judith "Shakespeare's Sister", to illustrate that a woman with Shakespeare's gifts would have been denied the same opportunities to develop them because of the doors that were closed to women.Stay curious,
