《一間自己的房間》
A Room of One's Own
Virginia Woolf
[英] 弗吉尼亞·伍爾夫
In A Room of One's Own, Virginia Woolf imagines that Shakespeare had a sister—a sister equal to Shakespeare in talent, and equal in genius, but who never writes a word and dies by her own hand, her genius unexpressed. If only she had found the means to create, argues Woolf, she would have reached the same heights as her immortal sibling.
在《一間自己的房間》裡，弗吉尼亞·伍爾夫假想莎士比亞有一個才華和天賦可與他比肩的妹妹，但卻未留下任何作品，自戕而亡，她的天才從未向世人展示過。伍爾夫說，如果她有條件進行創作，她本可以達到和她不朽的兄長一樣的藝術高度。
Her message is a simple one: women must have a fixed income and a room of their own in order to have the freedom to create.
她想傳達的資訊極為簡單：女人如果想要有創作的自由，就必須有穩定的收入，和一間自己的房間。

Eat, Pray, Love
Elizabeth Gilbert
[美] 伊莉莎白·吉爾伯特

It’s easy to give this memoir a hard time for being self-indulgent and unrealistic — but there is something here that speaks to women and encourages them not to settle for less.
你大可以說這本回憶錄太過任性，不切實際，但它確實有吸引女性的地方，鼓勵她們不要湊合過日子。
▌Quotes
People think a soul mate is your perfect fit, and that's what everyone wants. But a true soul mate is a mirror, the person who shows you everything that is holding you back, the person who brings you to your own attention so you can change your life.
