Read the passage from A Room of One's Own.
She had no chance of learning grammar and logic, let
alone of reading Horace and Virgil. She picked up a
book now and then, one of her brother's perhaps, and
read a few pages. But then her parents came in and
told her to mend the stockings or mind the stew and
not moon about with books and papers. They would
have spoken sharply but kindly, for they were
substantial people who knew the conditions of life for a
woman and loved their daughter.
