After reading Chapter 3 and 4, I started to wonder what Woolf would think of J.K. Rowling. Woolf talks about how women did not have time to write because they are raising the kids. If women did write, they would have to hide all their work. Has this really changed in current times? Can women authors freely write?
J.K. Rowling came to my mind. The author of best selling series of Harry Potter. Rowling did not use her full name. Was she afraid that readers did not want anything by a woman? Personally, Woolf would be surprised to see that a woman author would not use her entire name, but only use her last name. The last name given by her father not mother.
