Porter | Incredible Women

Maria Balshaw, Director of Tate, reads one of her favourite texts, The Problem of Shakespeare’s Sister from A Room of One’s Own by Virginia Woolf. In Balshaw’s chosen passage, Woolf presents a thought experiment; what if Shakespeare had an equally gifted sister? Balshaw goes on to discuss how this connects to another favourite writer, Alice Walker, and reflects on Walker’s interpretation of Woolf’s piece.
