Read the excerpt below from A Room of One's Own by Virginia Woolf and answer the question that follows.
Meanwhile his extraordinarily gifted sister, let us suppose, remained at home. She was as adventurous, as imaginative, as
agog to see the world as he was. But she was not sent to school. She had no chance of learning grammar and logic, let alone
of reading Horace and Virgil. She picked up a book now and then, one of her brother's perhaps, and read a few pages. But then
her parents came in and told her to mend the stockings or mind the stew and not moon about with books and papers. They
would have spoken sharply but kindly, for they were substantial people who knew the conditions of life for a woman and loved
their daughter-indeed, more likely than not she was the apple of her father's eye. Perhaps she scribbled some pages up in an
apple loft on the sly, but was careful to hide them or set fire to them.
Why is this "gifted sister" discouraged from reading and writing?
Women were encouraged to exist in the private sphere of life
The family did not want Shakespeare's sister to leave as he did.
Women who read and wrote too often were cast out of the home.
The family wanted her to become a doctor, not a writer or an actor.
