Who, among the following women
writers, famously imagined the
plight of Shakespeare’s sister ?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer B
In A Room of One's Own (1929) Virginia Woolf imagines Judith Shakespeare, a sister as gifted as William, who is denied education and independence and dies without writing a word. The story shows how the lack of money, privacy and freedom has kept women's genius from expression. George Eliot, Iris Murdoch and Frances Burney were women novelists, but none created this thought experiment.
