"Its quiet, demure laughter is what one remembers with special delight. 'A Room of One's Own' offers us, among other good things, a meditation, delicately whimsical and deeply true, on the writer-temperment, that inner drive to create in wordds, that is continually seeking expression, that is continually being frustrated, or partly frustrated, so that it rarely reaches the state of 'incandescence' in which creative activity is unhindered and free."

What if Shakespeare had had a sister... This is Virginia Woolf's famous consideration of how that sister and her creativity would have been smothered by the culture and the time. Makes you wonder how many other sisters in history have been forgotten.
