Woolf reflects on how women’s historic role mirroring male identity influence stories about war and conquest.
“Without that power, the earth would still be swamp and jungle. The glories of all our wars would be unknown.”
How might we rethink these ‘glories’ through a feminist lens?
Thoughts?

Virginia Woolf lived as many of us do—through surges of feeling, thought, and sensation. But she didn’t resist them. She wrote from within them. Intensity wasn’t something to quiet. It was something to shape. Somewhere in us, we recognise that rhythm. #virginiawoolf

Virginia Woolf had a complicated relationship to writing. At times she grappled with what we might today call 'writer's block'; in her diaries she expressed periods of frustration & self-doubt. Have you faced similar struggles? How did you get back on track? #virginiawoolf #writingcommunity
