After reading the Virginia’s text, I could realise that she had some preferences to women’s than men’s pieces of work. She analysed a piece of work written by a woman. She highlighted many aspects related to women, not to man’s.
In classes, with some classmates, we were discussing this preference that the writer had by women. We concluded that probably she had sexual preferences to women. Perhaps she liked women. I am not saying this is good or bad, I’m just referring to the fact that it is so common that people who analyse writers, artists, etc. use to make emphasize on their sexual inclinations.
I think it should not happen. I do not think that sexuality determinates the quality of someone. Sometimes, people tend to discriminate others because these reasons and this is not fair at all. Personal life should not interfere in professional life.

Hi Angel!
First at all I'd like to tell you that I totally agree when you mention that sexuality does not determinate people’s quality. On the contrary, sexual inclination should not be a reason or topic to discuss if someone is good or bad person or writer in this case. However, I disagree with many aspects you raised. For example, I do not believe Virginia had preferences to woman just because she just liked or not women. I believe that it’s more than that. She goes beyond literature and gender issue. In fact, she criticizes and analyze why women have never been taken into consideration in literature as men. Fortunately, she started doing it through her essay, which is the one we read. As a way to help, I suggest you to check your spelling. Moreover, you might improve your analysis doing some connections relating literature to education. In that case what you pointed out about Woolf’s sexuality may be an interesting topic to work with students.
Think about it!
=)
