A Room of One's Own

This book was first published in 1929, and it is still loved by everyone after more than 90 years, for the simple reason that it is a book of the heart that stimulates the spiritual awakening of women, encouraging women to break the shackles in their minds and prejudices in their lives and be brave enough to be themselves.

In her book, Woolf mentions an incident that saddens me that "they can't make money at all, and even if they do, the law doesn't give them the right to hold their own property." Raising thirteen children and earning a lot of money at the same time is something that no one can do."

In the past, the law provided that all property of a wife belonged to her husband. Through this situation, we can see how humble the status of women really is. Although it is the twenty-first century, there are still many prejudices against women in life.

I often see some words that make me particularly heartbroken in the barrage of film and television dramas, "Don't look for a woman with a strong sense of career", "This woman is a workaholic", and many more will not be written, it is too ugly to hear, and every sentence is full of malice.

Woolf said that "women must have money and have their own rooms".

Because money and room are the premise for women to be independent, the book also tells about the sad experiences that happened to women, and there are many fragments about grandmothers, mothers, aunts, and the lives of women around them, there are sacrifices and helplessness, unwillingness and regrets.

It is very suitable to read when you are discouraged and experiencing setbacks, and it will give you a lot of courage and stimulate the strength in your heart not to admit defeat.

There are a few of these sentences that can't wait to share with you:

Don't rush, don't rush to shine. You don't have to force yourself to be anyone, but just be yourself, and we'll all go to heaven.

The library can be locked if you want, but my brain has no door, no lock, nothing that allows you to restrain the freedom of my mind.

I want you to do what you can to find ways to earn enough money for yourself to travel, to do nothing, to think about the future or past of the world, to read books, to dream or to wander the streets.

Mr. Yang Jiang once said:

"You don't deliberately meet anyone, don't rush to have anyone, and don't reluctantly keep anyone, you have to believe in the best of yourself, you will definitely leave the best person for you, the world is cold, you have deep affection, kindness, love, warmth."

There is no standard answer to the question of what you are born with. You just have to enjoy it and keep moving forward every day. There is no established script, no established characters, no one to label you, this is probably an ordinary life with your own personality.

If life is just a long period of dormancy, only human love can bring us to the edge of waking up. When there is love in a person's heart, I am afraid that the distance of any space is not enough to alienate this love. Some people are always used to turning a blind eye to what is around them, and as a result, they are about to become blind, and they don't know anything about it, and we are glad that we know how to see the world, even if it is alone in the dark.

For the freedom of the soul, in order to ignite the fire of life, the woman who is dangerous, the woman who is brave, the woman who is talented but forgotten by the history of literature, the woman who uses her life to love, to escape, to travel, to write and to go crazy.

We deserve to be beautiful, to be loved, and to be charming.
