Think about what Virginia Woolf argues: what women need in order to become successful writers. Since Woolf gave this speech nearly 100 years ago, write an essay comparing and contrasting Woolf's "requirements" for entering the writing profession with the requirements a woman might face today. Construct your argument to answer two questions:

Are the requirements for female writers and male writers still so different from each other? In other words, have we solved the problem of gender inequality in creative fields

Generally speaking, should people who pursue artistic and creative fields seek financial security first?

your answer should be 250 words

Clare Bradford · Answer 1

Nowadays, the requirements for female writers and male writers aren't so different from each other, in terms of creative thinking. Female authors write about everything with more autonomy than in the Victorian era, where Mrs. Woolf was born. But when we speak of financial terms, there's still a difference between them.

Nowadays, the requirements for female writers and male writers aren't so different from each other, in terms of creative thinking. Female authors write about everything with more autonomy than in the Victorian era, where Mrs. Woolf was born. But when we speak of financial terms, there's still a difference between them. The women were also unconventional, flexible, open, and showed independence, approaching life vigorously. They were sensitive to details. The women' patterns were different from the male artists in that they had less flamboyance, seemed more naïve, and were more introverted. However, these female artists, compared with other females, appeared to be adventurous, independent, and very willful. In conclusion I feel safe to say that although it may still have some gender inequality in some ares but in the majority we have fixed the gender inequality.

It is possible to make a career as a fine artist, but it is tough and few artists make a living by only selling their work (at least initially). With that being said yes you should seek a financial security. People who own business just didn't say hey let just start this business without being financially secured. To sum it you just cant say I am just paint and creative designs with no money you will need some source of income.
