Woolf discusses this topic in her work<em> "A Room of One's Own."</em> In this text, she reflects on the role of women in literature over the past centuries. She realizes that women have been limited and neglected, even those with enormous potential and intelligence, because of gender roles. She reflects on the Elizabethan period. She argues that even if a brilliant woman (as brilliant as Shakespeare) would have existed, she would have lacked the means and the platform to become famous, and is most likely forgotten by history.
