Yours, Virginia

"...I wish I could live in Virginia’s times, just to assure her husband that she didn't commit suicide because of him and tell him that he did his best, always. And she could tell me more about how it is to live as a woman in our world and why it must get better. And until I meet her one day, I will remember that I am a man myself, and I can't pretend to be a feminist, and I will never feel myself inside a woman’s body. But I can support feminism and believe in it. I can write this letter to you all, and I can imagine. I can have an idea. And I can ask questions... that I will never, never, never have to answer."

no lock, no bolt that you can set upon the freedom of my mind”. (V. Woolf)
