Virginia Woolf

"A woman must have money and a room of her own if she is to write fiction."

"Women have served all these centuries as looking-glasses possessing the magic and delicious power of reflecting the figure of man at twice its natural size."

"The history of men's opposition to women's emancipation is more interesting perhaps than the story of that emancipation itself."

"As a woman I have no country. As a woman I want no country. As a woman my country is the whole world."

"Lock up your libraries if you like; but there is no gate, no lock, no bolt that you can set upon the freedom of my mind."
