Woolfe is starting to read one of the volumes in a long series of books called Life’s Adventure by Mary Carmicheal. Woolfe thinks to praise her sex would be silly. Columbus, Newton, and airplanes were all not discovered by women. Women remain unclassified, and very little has been said about them in fiction. There have been no yardsticks to measure their goodness as a mother, devotion of a daughter, fidelity of the sister, or the capacity of a housekeeper. Instead, it’s been a tradition to view a person concerning(trustworthy, pleasure-seeking alliance, comforting, and flattery) the opposite sex and their relationship with them. Locking women inside the brick and mortar for millions of years has unleashed their creative power, and there is a need to harness their power in pen, brushes, business, and politics.We must acknowledge a difference in the art of self-expression between men and women. If an explorer from another planet were to be watching us, it would be a pleasure to watch some X bargaining for their superiority over other races. Woolfe finishes reading the book written by Mary Carmichael, and in another 100 years, there will be a better book. If we give her 500 a year and a room of her own, a poet will emerge.
