My space

After reading Virginia Woolf’s essay we can certify that the role of women writers in nineteenth century was completely hidden. We have just read some other women writers and all of them express the necessity of having a space to think and write.

I think that women in those times didn’t have the opportunity to express themselves freely. The context was chauvinist and society couldn’t imagine a place where women could write about their own needs and thoughts. Luckily, some women could do it, naturally not in the best way, but it helped to open a broader space for us.

For me it is obvious that women need an instance to reflect about what they are living, feeling and what they are wanting to have. From the very beginning of our lives, we need a space, because we reflect ourselves on it. At the same time, as women, we need to create that space in our minds. We must give ourselves the instance to think about what we need. First we must reflect on something and then put it in somewhere else.
