Hi ladies!
I thought I would share the quote I found in the reading to bring to class today, but didn't share. It is on page 53 in our textbook. It comes from "A Room of One's Own" by Virginia Woolf. It says, "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." I found this quote inspirational for all women. It sets an extremely powerful and positive tone. No matter what physical boundaries men set up, women still were always capable of using their minds. It may have been difficult to educate themselves, but they were always able to think and create ideas. That is the most powerful aspect of human beings; their capabiltity to think and create. No one can stop you from using your brain and developing your mind. This is even important for women to remember today. You can do what you put your mind to, no matter what other people do to hold you back. The proof is in the fact that women have way more rights than what they did before.
