I think I'd rather celebrate the life and death of Virginia Woolf on 28th March. At least she was real (and wrote loads of stuff down).

"I used to believe, as I was taught, that literacy was primarily about decoding text. But watching how people actually learn and think has convinced me that literacy is about something deeper: the capacity to construct and navigate environments where understanding becomes possible."
I'm thinking about #VirginiaWoolf and "A room of one's own"...
