Virginia Woolf examines that throughout time women eventually were able to express themselves without even having to use fiction. As women became able to express themselves it was evident that they were more than domestic items as Virginia notes, “Also, I continued, looking down at the page again, it is becoming evident that women, like men, have other interests besides the perennial interest of domesticity” (Woolf 83). I feel what Virginia Woolf wanted was for everyone to be able to fully express themselves regardless of their gender. She uses a room metaphorically as a place where one can always freely express themselves. I have many places where I am always showing my true character. Virginia talks about some points that Coleridge makes “ He meant, perhaps, that the androgynous mind is resonant and porous; that it transmits emotion without impediment; that it is naturally creative, incandescent and undivided” (Woolf 98). I personally feel that he is implying and Virginia Woolf agrees that a person who does not see the world as gender divided can take in the true essence and can has a clear perspective. I attempt to live my life this way however with media and other influences in society it is not the easiest task. Virginia Woolf would be pleased to see the trails blazed by women in the recent years.
