Think about what virginia woolf argues: what women need in order to become successful writers. since woolf gave this speech nearly 100 years ago, write an essay comparing and contrasting woolf's "requirements" for entering the writing profession with the requirements a woman might face today. construct your argument to answer two questions: are the requirements for female writers and male writers still so different from each other? in other words, have we solved the problem of gender inequality in creative fields generally speaking, should people who pursue artistic and creative fields seek financial security first?
