Important: Changes - "Room" Reading Schedule.

For next week, I've decided to institute some changes in your reading schedule for A Room of One's Own.  Chapter 4 needs to be read by Friday of next week, Jan. 25 instead of by Tuesday.  Some questions will accompany it to help direct your reading.  Here are a few of them below, some borrowed from a British Lit course:
  1. What is the general focus of chapter 4?
  2. What criticisms does Woolf make of Lady Winchelsea's poetry?  What is her purpose here?
  3. How does Woolf trace the history of women's writing from the eighteenth century onwards? Why was the novel the main genre for female writers in that period?
  4. What contrast between Jane Austen / Emily Bronte and Charlotte Bronte does Woolf make? What limitations did Austin and Emily Bronte reject that Charlotte Bronte was unable to reject?
  5. Woolf discusses the "newness" of the novel, its suitability for women writers. To what extent does Woolf index her argument here to notions about the supposed differences between men and women?
  6. What do you make of the transition at the end of the chapter?  

Read Chapter 5 by the following Friday, February 1, and Chapter 6 by the following Friday (Feb. 8).

ALL PIPELINES 7/01 - STOP GENOCIDE & it’s not in Gaza/Ecosystem Attack/StandWithUkraine/climate/Human Rights/ProtectSacred

The big UGLY bill passed the Senate today.  This statement speaks volumes: " By threatening Tillis, Trump has only drawn more attention to Tillis’s truth-telling about his swindle of MAGA voters.” The guest for this Sargent podcast is a Republic is Timothy Noah. The byline does the same. The convicted felon has banned from the GOP. How does anyone really do that? The felon as usual shows what a loser he is as well as how much he LIES.  Interesting all who are afraid of alienating the orange menace. The felon has animal instincts. He’s not especially smart. The bill will pass.  Most definitely worth a listen. - Trump’s Fury at Thom Tillis Backfires, Wrecking His Vile Medicaid Scam I’d like to see this happen to this convicted felon occupying the White House as well as every member of his family as well as all members of his cabinet. The fact that this might now be our reality should raise red flags. Yes, it’s happening. Looks like this corrupt administration is also using ...

ALL PIPELINES 8/19 - STOP GENOCIDE & it’s not in Gaza/Ecosystem Attack/StandWithUkraine/climate/Human Rights/ProtectSacred Sites

Strong byline. He will lose which is how it should be. He is a weakling who should because he’s destroying everyone’s lives. No one in his/her right mind likes this orange convicted felon. Some food for thought: " In terms of metrics, Free DC’s goal is to mobilize about 25,000 District of Columbia residents — the 3.5 percent of the city’s population that Harvard University  political scientist Erica Chenoweth  says is  required to overcome a dictator . ”  This is something else to think about: " Free DC has mobilized rallies of support for fired federal workers, distributed call sheets to contact members of Congress, shared requests from organizations supporting unhoused city residents, and distributed hotlines for people to report where ICE and other federal law enforcement are active. ”  Decent read here.  - Free DC: Inside the women-founded movement opposing Trump militarized takeover I totally agree with what Simon Rosenberg’s comment at the beginning o...

ALL PIPELINES 7/09 - STOP GENOCIDE & it’s not in Gaza/Ecosystem Attack/StandWithUkraine/climate/Human Rights/ProtectSacred

This is no surprise, what is implied by the title of this from Hopium. Worth a read. - Trump Is Making America Poorer, Weaker, Less Safe And Less Free And the American People Are Unhappy About It   This is what we’ll continue to see in the White House. Interesting anti-Trump statue now at the National Mall. I’m hoping someone will be posting pictures of this for all of us to see. What’s included on the plaque is fitting for sure. That Booker/Padilla bill must pass with enough votes to override any veto likely to come from the White House. That in itself will be tough. Keep asking about Epstein. - A New White House Meltdown and More Bad News For Trump Breaking news opens this interview: Basically Bondi has lied about the Epstein. Give that byline time to sink in. What the hell is up with Paramount? This gives me good reason NOT to use this streaming service. Geez, a side deal. All that’s happening with the mainstream news gives the rest of us good reason to not support any deals mad...
