《一间自己的房间》A Room of One‘s Own
Virginia Woolf
[英] 弗吉尼亚·伍尔夫
In A Room of One‘s Own， Virginia Woolf imagines that Shakespeare had a
sister—a sister equal to Shakespeare in talent， and equal in genius， but who
never writes a word and dies by her own hand， her genius unexpressed。 If only
she had found the means to create， argues Woolf， she would have reached the same
heights as her immortal sibling。
在《一间自己的房间》里，弗吉尼亚·伍尔夫假想莎士比亚有一个才华和天赋可与他比肩的妹妹，但却未留下任何作品，自戕而亡，她的天才从未向世人展示过。伍尔夫说，如果她有条件进行创作，她本可以达到和她不朽的兄长一样的艺术高度。
Her message is a simple one： women must have a fixed income and a room of
their own in order to have the freedom to create。
她想传达的信息极为简单：女人如果想要有创作的自由，就必须有稳定的收入，和一间自己的房间。

unrealistic — but there is something here that speaks to women and encourages
them not to settle for less。
