“The extraordinary woman depends on the ordinary woman.”

Virginia Woolf (1882–1941) English writer

Context: The extraordinary woman depends on the ordinary woman. It is only when we know what were the conditions of the average woman's life … it is only when we can measure the way of life and the experience of life made possible to the ordinary woman that we can account for the success or failure of the extraordinary woman as a writer.
