Nearly 100 years later, the questions she raised \u2014 about money, creative freedom, and a woman's right to write \u2014 are still the questions women writers are asking. In this solo Women's History Month episode, Amanda Polick takes a deep dive into the essay that inspired the name Babe Cave itself, and unpacks why its central argument is just as urgent in 2026 as it was when Woolf delivered it as a lecture at Cambridge in 1928. In this episode, you'll discover: The story of Shakespeare's hypothetical sister \u2014 and why Woolf believed she lives on in every woman who hasn't written her story yet The history of women writing anonymously, and what it means to put your name on your work today Why Aphra Behn \u2014 the first English woman to earn her living by writing \u2014 deserves your attention (and probably a few flowers) How financial independence and creative freedom have always been the same conversation Why the restrictions facing women writers in 2026 are just as real as 100 years ago, even if they look completely different Perfect for: Women writers, aspiring authors, anyone who has a story they've been afraid to claim, readers of Virginia Woolf, and anyone who needs someone to tell them to keep going.
