  1. “But there is another way of fighting for freedom without arms; we can fight with the mind…women of ability are held down because of a subconscious Hitlerism in the hearts of men.”

    Virginia Woolf from her essay “Thoughts on Peace in an Air Raid,” referencing men favoring oppression of women over survival in the war against the Nazis.

    A Room of One's Own.

    “Suppose, for instance, that men were only represented in literature as the lovers of women, and were never the friends of men, soldiers, thinkers, dreamers; how few parts in the plays of Shakespeare could be allotted to them; how literature would suffer! ...--literature would be incredibly impoverished, as indeed literature is impoverished beyond our counting by the doors that have been shut upon women.”

  4. This evening's viewing: Queen Tilda Swinton in Orlando, adapted from the Virginia Woolf novel.

    I think this was my introduction to Sally Potter's work, coming out when I was a student & the Filmhouse was broadening my #film lore (it still is).

  6. Arrivée à #londres par l'Eurostar à Saint-Pancras, une cathédrale de briques à 2 pas de la #BritishLibrary
    L'hôtel est à #bloomsbury, pas très loin d'où a vécu #VirginiaWoolf et le groupe de Bloomsbury (photos à venir).
    Petit tour dans le quartier avec des rues arrondies typiques, comme ici à Cartwright Gardens.

  7. 📚 Oh, the horror! #Writers need social interaction? Who knew! 🙄 Virginia Woolf's iconic space and financial freedom for women to write is *so* passé now that we remember human contact is a thing. Next up: rediscovering fire! 🔥

  8. “No hi ha barrera, pany, ni forrellat que puguis imposar a la llibertat de la meva ment.”
    (“There is no gate, no lock, no bolt that you can set upon the freedom of my mind.”)
    -Virginia Wolf-

    El 28 de març de 1941, #VirginiaWoolf va omplir les butxaques del seu abric amb pedres i va entrar a poc a poc en el riu Ouse (#Sussex) per a no sortir més. Tenia 59 anys.

    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).

  10. "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"...
