read this excerpt from a room of one's own by virginia woolf:
cleopatra must have had a way with her, lady macbeth,
one would suppose, had a will of her own; rosalind, one
might conclude, was an attractive girl. professor trevelyan
is speaking no more than the truth when he remarks that
shakespeare's women do not seem wanting in personality
and character. not being a historian, one might go even
further and say that women have burnt like beacons in all
the works of all the poets from the beginning of time.
what do the underlined words in this excerpt most clearly suggest?
o
a. women have always been heroic characters in literature
o
b. women have always been portrayed negatively in literature
o
c. women have always been at the heart of literary controversies
o
d. women have always been a vital and central part of literature
