External Video[edit]

The link to the BBC website and a video of Woolf is effectively dead for many of us since it requires Flash. This should be removed or a warning placed on the page caption.

Note[edit]

It is necessary to add the word "antisemite" in the section "Attitudes toward Judaism, Christianity and fascism". The examples are already there, but someone shies away from the crucial word which describes her attitude (my guess is that has been censored/forbidden by Woolf's feminist fanboys/fangirls)

sexist language[edit]

"bore him a daughter" and "presented him with a child" are quite sexist. I suggest "A child was born to them" or "They had a child." 69.113.75.89 (talk) 20:56, 1 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

"A child was born to them" sounds a bit Biblical to me, but in the process of updating that section I changed it to "they had a daughter". Ligaturama (talk) 12:54, 21 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Why is omission to VW surviving incest sexual assault?[edit]

This was a very formative part of her life shaping so many aspects of her work and her personal life. Jaeleaj (talk) 01:25, 11 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

And why are women referred to as "females" (the scientific term). Human females are women. Thanks to those of you who have been cleaning up the sexist language here.El Cubedo (talk) 19:08, 6 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
