Dear Josh,
Yeah, I know what you mean. A Room of One’s Own is a hard book to understand. Chapter 1 is about Virginia Woolf thinking about how she would write a speech about women and fiction. She is very good at describing her surroundings. She is visiting many places and contemplating what to write about. She talks a lot about places that she is not allowed to enter like the Oxbridge (male) school and the church. I think she is also talking about women’s rights in the sense of being allowed some places and not in others. It is hard though to interpret everything she says. Your English teacher might think this is important because everything that has gone on with women in the past and how women write. I had a lot of trouble understanding it and I can see why you do too. I hope this kind of helped you and gave you a few ideas for your book report. See you soon!
Lindsay

Yes, and she compares the men's university, Oxbridge, to the women's college Fernham, to show the difference between men's and women's access to education, tradition, and money.
Is HW 22 in the works?
