I love this. My god. My notes on this are amazing. This is reliving Silvia Federici speaking to my college. 

A subset of my notes (for those interested — I gaze into the camera and see you! I am Seen and Known!)

——
men are concerned about maintaining their superiority. 

31% -- inheritance is why VW was able to do her work. Otherwise, without the wealth, it destroys the tree at its heart! Wealth is vital! SOCIALISM.  S O C I A L I S M. IT SOFTENS THE HEART. ONCE EVERYONE HAS WEALTH EVERYONE IS HAPPY. W E A L T H

32% : more and more and more money -- capitalism leads to war and The need to accumulate!!!! AHHHHHHHHHH AHHHH

SOCIALIST ICON VIRGINIA WOOLF!! ITS SO BASIC. ITS SO FUCKING BASIC. 

I cannot contain my excitement and joy. I love her. Icon. I love her!! YES YES YES 

33% -- It is useless to compare jobs! It’s useless!!!!!!!!! Stating the value of “gifts” is useless! We are all people!!! AHHH

Woman as occupation! Fact!!!!

36 -- women are so interesting in literature. They had lives and thoughts and personalities and yet there is scarcely any historical record of them, let alone by them. This is a shame. And women have always and will always have beautiful lovely inner lives. We just may not be so privileged as to see them or know them in the future because they are denied access to fiction writing or the written word and education. 

38 -- she wished to rewrite history to discuss women. And yet... that didn’t occur for another forty years. Ugh. My icon. Ideas are powerful, not just implementation. 

---Novels are often anodyne rather than antidote. Making one slumber rather than starting a fire that burns within them. 

70- she said bechdel test lmao. That’s g a y. 

73 - there is no “female achievement” an achievement done solely by women. One cannot use a measuring stick in order to measure fidelity or other womanly virtues. Curious. Women are always put in comparison to the achievements of man. 

👏 I 👏 love 👏 women 👏 it is amazing!!! Woman as social category! The female social category is amazing!!!!! Amazing!!!! AHHH I LOVE YOU VIRGINIA!
