As we read on further in her essay, Woolf tells the story of when she was a little girl and how she wanted t become a writer. Being a women, and a feminist and trying to become a writer, she had t overcome many obstacles and many males did not support her ideas. As a whole, this short essay was very well written by Woolf. I think the ideas that she discussed are still in effect today in society. In some professions, it is hard for women to express themselves and who they really are, because by males it is simply not accepted. Women today are still viewed as inferior in many professional positions, but give us a few more years and THINGS WILL CHANGE!!

Professions for Women
In Virginia Woolf 's Profession for Women, she analyses how women in society struggle against men in many different ways. As far as the difference between me and women, she expresses how women will never able to be quite as creative as men in many ways. Due to this, women are held back form expressing their inner selves. The idea that i gained from the essay is Woolf is trying to show how women in society want to explore their abilities and use them, but because of all the constraints holding them from achieving this.

Things WILL change, most definitely. Just as Hillary Clinton said, the glass ceiling has millions of cracks in it. Though it may be difficult to see, our society makes progress every day. We learn from our failures and our history. 52% of medical students in the United States are women...the facts speak for themselves. It is a woman's right to openly and comfortably express her opinions, especially in a culture as free as ours.
Ill have to agree with Ameesh on ths matter because the glass ceiling after all is just glass and can be shattered withthe right stone, it will take time but things are not as they used to be. Women are now able to do more things that they had ever been able to do before and it is because the "ceiling" is being slowly being removed.
