Evidence: | Virginia Woolf to Margaret Llewelyn Davies, 23 January 1916:
'I've been reading Carlyle's Past and Present [1843], and wondering whether all his rant has
made a scrap of difference practically [...] I become steadily more feminist, owing to the
Times, which I read at breakfast and wonder how this preposterous masculine fiction [the
war] keeps going a day longer -- without some vigorous young woman pulling us together and
marching through it'.
