Question

How does Virginia Woolf use comparisons to persuade her

Answer 1

Answer:

She uses comparisons about what society would be like if a woman were in the place of a great historical figure known to all.

Explanation:

In "A Room Of One’s Own" Vírginia reflects on the place and value of women in society. It shows that since the beginning, women have suffered limitations due to the pressures they suffer and that have shaped the society where we live. She says that women are limited by family, economy, politics and society's expectations. To exemplify this, he makes a comparison between Shakespeare and a possible brother as talented as he is. While Shakespeare was being exalted for his works, his sister was forbidden to study, write and have the same recognition as his brother, due to the pressure placed on the woman.
