Happy 121st Birthday to writer Ernest Hemingway. Here's a portrait I made of him.
"There is Nothing to writing. All you do is sit down at the typewriter and bleed."
Ernest Hemingway

Interested to know what you think about "A Room of One's Own." I found portions of it to be problematic. She seemed to say that writing without passion, without knowing how as an author you'll be received (particularly as a woman, but it could be extended to writers of color and other marginalized groups), would only make great art when they shed all of that off and focused entirely on the art itself. I just finished it, my thoughts half-formed, and I'm interested to see what you thought of it.
Hi. Sorry this took so long to respond to– I decided to reread the essay since I only vaguely remembered what you were addressing.Well, I think it’s important to understand why she’s saying this. She thinks that women should be able to write about a wide array of things, and not merely from a place or anger or bitterness or doubt. It is her opinion that only when writing becomes separated from concerns about the marginalization one has faced by virtue of being a woman that one can write really good fiction. She’s not trying to say that that marginalization is not important– of course, the entire essay is addressing this particular experience of women– but that she wants us to be able to move past it. Such that, in a perfect world perhaps, women’s literature would not have to talk about marginalization at all and could be free to write about women’s experiences in a new way. Of course she was writing in a slightly different period from our own. Women writers were not so common back then as they are today. And women today do write about a wide array of things. I agree with what you’re saying, however, that her argument raises some issues. I don’t agree, for instance, that writing about oppression from a place of hurt, anger, or fear, produces bad literature. There have been many, many novels written on this subject that are phenomenal. And of course, she is only writing from her experiences as a white woman. Issues of race are never brought up at all. The unique experiences and different forms of marginalization women of color (or other oppressed groups) face are not addressed. This further complicates her idealistic ending and makes her argument that we will ever get to a point where we can, or should, stop talking about oppression, unlikely.
