Dude, most of my VW seminar was spent discussing all the hidden sexy stuff in her work.

[hikari87.livejournal.com]

...any particular recs?

[a-pious-cruelty.livejournal.com]

There's a heavily implied lesbian relationship in Mrs Dalloway, but really, Orlando is the best. It's about a guy who turns into a woman, and it's essentially a love letter from Virginia to her female lover.

*adds to reading list*

I actually find that if you like femmslash, older writers will oblige you. I think it has to do with female friendships being extremely close and not being judged sexually as long as you got married before.

[(Anonymous)]

Um, have you read Virginia Woolf? It's not female friendship that can maybe be read as a sexual relationship in her works, it's actual sexual relationships between women (maybe not with explicit sex, but it's definitely text, not subtext).

[meadowphoenix]

But that wasn't the point of this secret, however. OP was saying that they felt ashamed about reading VW for explicit and implicit girl on girliness. I'm saying that's a valid way to read the classics in general.

[iamshunpike.livejournal.com]

THIS. Have you ever read Jane Austen with a special attention like this? The only JA femslash ship I've seen mentioned is Caroline Bingley/Elizabeth Bennet ('cause everyone loves enemies in lust...?) but I never saw the appeal.

How about Emma/Harriet? I bet that could be interesting.

/late anon is late, but couldn't resist

[amazing-e-ko.livejournal.com]

I do this too! I adore Virginia Woolf for her beautiful imagery and the fabulous way she thematically unites those images within each novel, but I'll freely acknowledge that her femmeslash is the icing on the delicious cake. It's just so... adorable, usually.

[(Anonymous)]

Sounds like a perfectly valid reason to read her works to me.

[rionarch.livejournal.com]

Curiously enough, that isn't a strange idea. The men in Pre-WWI Europe, especially England, that did not fight or feel the vigor to were usually pegged a Homosexuals and deviants to society. At the same time it was a women's ability to work that pushed war ammunition to the front and the post-war period showed a definite decrease in their "working" rights.

Her daughter and the teacher is probably one of the more obvious examples of thinly layered homosexuality in the novel.

[gereiheimer.livejournal.com]

This. Perfectly reasonable to read her work, if you ask me ^^ Besides, any reason that makes you read VW is good, really...

[miakun.livejournal.com]

You should watch the film version, not only is it good, but it includes a bonus naked Lena Heady.

[childings.livejournal.com]

I don't think you're doing it wrong at all!

[singeaddams.livejournal.com]

Doing it wrong? That you're doing it AT ALL is a wonderful thing! People overlook the classics too often.

[soundspie.livejournal.com]

Me, too. VW is wonderful, she meets all my kinks and her style in extraordinary. I'm currently reading Leonard Woolfe's memoires on their life together and I love her even more. She was such a brilliant mind.
