52. Beyond the masculinist model

Rather than give in to destructive rage, however, Woolf sets it up as only one of several possible reactions to the challenges and barriers faced by women in Britain. Her approach is defined by its broad, multi-vocal style, and by the composure of the editor who controls the different voices. One voice, for example, in the second part of the essay, lists concrete examples of what could be done if women were allowed into the professions to earn equal pay with men:

You could finance a woman’s party in the House of Commons. You could run a daily newspaper committed to a conspiracy, not of silence, but of speech. You could get pensions for spinsters; those victims of the patriarchal system, whose allowance is insufficient and whose board and lodging are no longer thrown in. You could get equal pay for equal work. You could provide every mother with chloroform when her child is born; bring down the maternal death-rate from four in every thousand to none at all, perhaps.
