Summary of Profession For Women By Virginia Woolf

Summary: Virginia Adeline Woolf (1882-1941) was an English novelist and essayist, regarded as one of the foremost modernist literary figures of the twentieth century. She was one of the leaders in the literary movement of modernism. The speech of Professions for Women was given in 1931 to the Women’s Service League by Virginia Woolf. It was also included in Death of a Moth and Other Essays in 1942. Throughout the speech, Virginia Woolf brings forward a problem that is still relevant today: gender inequality.

The artists are rapidly producing copies of the original art owing to its public display and for getting monetary benefits. The m

He additionally mentions Marx on the capitalist method of creation amid the technological revolution; that talks about what could be normal in the future of the industrialist generation, that is — the profiteering of the lower-class and the disintegration of capitalist enterprise.

Society saw art as a one of a kind instrument of traditional qualities. The replication of art can con
