My first Virginia Woolf book ever. I am wondering how come I never read anything by this amazing writer before. Her mode of expression seems to create endless paragraphs that flow onward and upward and eventually get to the point which is that she is free to express her thoughts.

This book has so much more to offer than simply a treatise on the feminist needs of creative women (although this is a very important topic, and as relevant now as when Woolf wrote her essays); it also offers excellent advice on the art of writing well, and the need for a good writer to resist the urge to use their craft as a stage from which to proclaim their views. I already know this book will have a profound effect on my own writing, and for that alone it thoroughly deserves five stars.
