While reading "A Room of One's Own,"I stumbled upon a quote that intrigued me on page 56.
"Let us admit in the privacy of our own society that these things sometimes happen. Sometimes women do like women."
And then it hit me. She's describing the people who dismiss relationships outside a male-female relationship. Back then, they had just as many issues as we do in today's society. People didn't believe in gay rights. Some people probably even didn't acknowledge the fact that women do indeed like women and men indeed do like men.
Has society really changed since Virginia Woolf's day? Are there still people that turn a blind eye on those who prefer women? Does that notion truly make people uncomfortable?
