Women's writing is ever devalued.
My mealtime book for the last year has been A Moment's Liberty, the abridged diary of Virginia Woolf.
Woolf and her husband founded Hogarth Press to print her books, and later, works from other writers in the Bloomsbury group.
In 1929 Virginia wrote:
"For the first time we have made over £400 profit. And seven people now depend on us, and I think with pride that seven people depend, largely upon my hand writing on a sheet of paper. That is of course a great solace and pride to me. Its not scribbling; its keeping seven people fed and housed."
