Read the excerpt below from A Room of One's Own by Virginia Woolf and answer the question that follows.
I told you in the course of this paper that Shakespeare had a sister, but do not look for her in Sir Sidney Lee's life of the
poet. She died young-alas, she never wrote a word. She lies buried where the omnibuses now stop, opposite the
Elephant and Castle. Now my belief is that this poet who never wrote a word and was buried at the crossroads still lives.
She lives in you and in me, and in many other women who are not here tonight, for they are washing up the dishes and
putting the children to bed. But she lives; for great poets do not die; they are continuing presences; they need only the
opportunity to walk among us in the flesh. This opportunity, as I think, it is now coming within your power to give her.
According to the passage, what is Woolf's purpose in writing A Room of One's Own?
C to inform others how to find obscure, dead women poets
C to persuade others that gifted women poets do exist
C to entertain others with a tale from mythology
C to persuade others that Sir Sidney Lee knows nothing about poets
