According to Woolf, why don`t we know about Shakespeare`s sister?
xenn [34]

A correct answer is:

According to Woolf the reason why we don't know about Shakespeare's sister is because she’s a female. In "A Room of One’s Own" Woolf talked about a woman Shakespeare that has all of the male Shakespeare's talent. However she was not accepted like he did simply because of her gender.
