The 1940′s and women!
So, I just finished reading “Thoughts on Peace in an air raid,” by Virginia Woolf. I thought it was a very interesting essay. I enjoyed how she made a simile between the air raiders and English women. Her thoughts about what the men are fighting for and how it is a battle not well fought without women were amusing. I did like her ideas that the best way for a woman to help is by using her mind. Her ideas and words are much louder than the violent actions of men. She thinks that if more women were in positions of power, such as government, than the thoughts of women would make the country a better place. Woolf says that if more women were given the chance to speak than the minds of men would be surprised at the vast knowledge that has been neglected. As the raids over her house begin to end, she raps up and says that the battle for the women never ends.
