Catherine Lowell Quotes

More Than Anything, I Began To Hate Women Writers. Frances Burney, Jane Austen, Elizabeth Browning, Mary Shelley, George Eliot, Virginia Woolf. Bronte, Bronte, And Bronte. I Began To Resent Emily, Anne, And Charlotte - My Old Friends - With A Terrifying Passion. They Were Not Only Talented; They Were Brave, A Trait I Admired More Than Anything But Couldn't Seem To Possess. The World That Raised These Women Hadn't Allowed Them To Write, Yet They Had Spun Fiery Novels In Spite Of All The Odds. Meanwhile, I Was Failing With All The Odds Tipped In My Favor. Here I Was, Living Out Virginia Woolf's Wildest Feminist Fantasy. I Was In A Room Of My Own. The World Was No Longer Saying, "Write? What's The Good Of Your Writing?" But Was Instead Saying "Write If You Choose; It Makes No Difference To Me.
