She sucked

>>10389419
Of course she did, where else would she get that money?

No, clearly a woman could write fiction without those things. It's not like writing fiction is difficult.
>A dragon flew into my mouth and died.
Damn that was hard. NOT!

>>10389288
That's anyone really. I mean who doesn't want or need that?

Idiots

You could always go to prison.
She is right though and I can't disagree with her in good conscience.

>>10389431
Men don't need it, that's why she only included women in the quote. Women are handicapped, so they need all the external help they can get.

>>10389288
Jane Austen, Emily Dickinson, Virginia Woolf, Mary Wollstonecraft all fucking garbage pseuds propped up by beta faggots

>>10389471
men don't need a place to write and money to by writing supplies? don't be a dummy, my man.

>>10389428
Go back.

>>10389288
What about the preponderance of poor male authors throughout history? Cervantes was a fucking galley slave.

>>10389288
Where does she think men get their rooms and money? Out of thin air?

>>10389500
You calling Leo Strauss beta faggot?

>>10389428
unironically this
its stupid how many retarded posters are on this board who think women can write

women shouldnt write fiction

>>10389500
Virginia Woolf is unironically better than the majority of male writers and one of the best authors to write in English

>>10389440
Yes, she got her money from idiots. Good job at spelling it out, anon.

>>10389288
Yeah.

If there's pressure on you to publish, you'll push out mediocre work at a fast pace so you can pay the rent (see: King, Rowling). This is why most literary giants either had other jobs which supported their writing (Joyce, Kafka, Salinger) or had enough money in the bank and/or patronage not to worry about finances (Shakespeare, Byron, Shelley). Even Melville and Fitzgerald, who originally wrote to pay the bills, only produced their magnum opuses after they'd married into wealth. Historically, the canon favors authors who weren't "career" authors (i.e. didn't financially sink or swim based on the volume of their output).

The "room of one's own" point is a little more subtle, but it basically means you need a workspace where you won't be interrupted while you hone your craft. Most women in Woolf's day lacked this, and, as more and more women have started living alone and having careers, more and more women have become serious contenders for canonization.

So, yes, she's right.

19th century art is the century of dandys spending daddy's money

>>10389288
yes, which is why i believe women should have neither money nor rooms of their own

>>10389739
nope women are good at 3 things: fucking and birthing, cleaning and nurturing, performing and inspiring

they shouldn’t be allowed to write things down or congregate in same sex groups

>>10389288

No, but I'll fix it: "A woman must not try to write."

>>10390218
>more and more women have become serious contenders for canonization.
Not really.

>>10391773
......that's 6 things

>>10391773
but thats six things

>>10390218

The only female on the canon is Austen. The rest are trash. And even Austen is one of the worst on the canon.

No female writer in the last century deserves a spot on the canon and it's just getting worse.

>>10392038

Agreed. It's from the same people who think Hemingway, Salinger, Fitzgerald, etc. are canon just because they read them in some high school English class. On the pseud and roastwhore canon.

>>10392030

Woolf is unironically superior to Joyce.
