Woolf

I believe that Woolf's idea that a woman needs a "a room of ones own" is directly connected to blogging and the ability to blog. Having a room of our (women) own entails the ability to produce, expand, and express our ideas. It entails freedom and exploration in that it counters the oppressed mind in which was once always in someone elses (a mans) space.

I say that this is directly connected to blogging in that blogging creates an opportunity for anybody with access to a computer, which is nearly everyone in a 'westernized' country, to truly maintain a space of their own. We can, as Virginia Woolf may have implied with her idea of having her own room, produce, express, and expand on our ideas and thoughts. It allows others to, without inhibition, react and add to our ideas.

Blogging is certainly an extension of Woolfs vision in that it allows for those who may feel intellectually repressed to release their trapped thoughts. I think Woolfs vision encapsulated this idea - "a room of ones own" to allow intelectually repressed women to dree themselves.
