    1.18 Straight Up Rebellion in A Room of One's Own with Maija

    Welcome back to The Community Library! This week I sat down with Maija (who you might remember from episode 3) to chat about one of our favourite pieces of feminist literature, A Room of One’s Own by Virginia Woolf. We asked ourselves what is required to create art, what would happen if Shakespeare had a sister, and we came to the conclusion that Virginia Woolf is a bad b*tch. I hope you enjoy! The next discussion pick is Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief by Rick Riordan.

    Last year, I embarked on a challenge to read a book published in every single year of the 20th Century.
