Virginia woolf's the years and years of adverse male reviewers

References and notes

• Mrs. Pankhurst's establishment of the Women's Social and Political Union was a catalyst to the women who believed that they must fight for their emancipation by any means, short of overthrowing the government. So they persistently heckled speakers who were opposed to their cause, marched on Parliament in tens of thousands when their suffrage bills were rejected, provoked the police to arrest them, and filled the ranks of their membership through the notoriety of their arrests. The militants kept the cause of women's rights before the public between 1904 and 1914, and although their demands were continuously rejected, their heroic activism was impossible to ignore.

• The diary entry for May 21, 1935, reads: “Oddities of the human brain woke early and again considered dashing off my book on Professions [Three Guineas], to which I had not given a single thought these 7 or 8 days. Why? This vacillates with my novel [The Years]. How are they both to come out simultaneously?” Also: “That's the end of six years floundering, striving, much agony, some ecstasy; lumping The Years and Three Guineas together as one book—as indeed they are.” Diary, 284.

• Schaeffer , Josephine O'Brien . 1965 . The Three‐Fold Nature of Reality in The Novels of Virginia Woolf , 176 London : Mouton and Company . The years 1932–34 were full of death for Virginia Woolf. In 1932 Lytton Strachey, Dora Harrington and G. Lowes Dickinson died. Those writers she had opposed all these years were also dying. Arnold Bennett in 1931; Galsworthy in 1933. With Roger Fry's death in September of 1934, Woolf experienced an even greater loss. She noted in her diary (September 12, 1934), “I think the poverty of life now is what comes to me; and this blackish veil over everything. Hot weather; a wind blowing. The substance gone out of everything.”

She began writing children's books in 1875 after the death of two of her own children and in 1877 she wrote The Cuckoo Clock. It is the story of a little girl who was befriended by a wise, humorous and often bad‐tempered cuckoo from a clock and of the exciting adventures she had in such places as Butterfly Land and the other side of the moon.
