I do agree that Mrs. Woolf has very captivating and appealing literature as well! But I hope your dear Celia is far more grabbing to you than Mrs. Woolf my dear! Aha! Just joshing with you my dear Chettam! But, I was very fond of both Mrs. Dalloway and this essay. Though, both entirely different in many aspects of their own. To expand on this essay though, Thoughts on Peace in an Air Raid, I was engrossed by the details and descriptiveness of her surroundings. I do not know what many of these things explained like planes, gas-masks, guns, bombs, and other weaponry, etc. But, I do find them horrifying in the context she placed them, they are not pleasant in any means! I would personally find it dreadful to experience what she has in her hometown, especially with my children too, and I’m glad I haven’t! And especially just sitting there able to do ultimately nothing but watch what the outcome is?! I do think and appreciate her avocation towards women. I understand we are not able to do all that men could do in certain aspects of society, which is pish posh, but I’m afraid it is how the world is at these times in our Middlemarch and Woolf era. I do whole-heartedly agree with us women being able to fight with the mind. Us, women and wives, definitely have power to put ideas and thoughts into our husbands mind and can be very persuasive! I do that to my dear Humphrey ever since we met! And he is quite a intuitive man! As for following out these ideas my dear Chettam, it all depends on the woman. I know quite a few strong-willed women and if they have the right motivation, can go to hell and back to achieve it! Please excuse my language, I did get a little carried away!
