Hi group,
I'm seeking input--I'd love a group brainstorm leading to a video about V
Woolf.

My Project:
I'm making a video about Woolf for The School of Life, a learning center
partly founded by Alain de Botton, in which philosophy is made (more)
accessible.  The center produces a video series about big thinkers.  See
here for examples:

Each video in the series tries to isolate 1-4 big ideas developed by
thinkers.  you can check out the link above for how they do this.

Our Challenge:
If you had to name 1-4 aspects of life in which Woolf thought more deeply
than others have, what would those topics be?
And what are the ways in which she developed that aspect of life?

Possible Examples:

1. Gender.
Woolf looked at how the genders occupied their traditional gender roles,
and how these roles served to create a sense of commitment, of community,
but also served to distance the genders from each other....

2. Role of Silence in communication
Woolf had a sense of what goes unspoken in any conversation, attuning us to
how much of our communication is transmitted between the words we actually
speak.

3. Time
or Solitude
or ...wanna throw an idea in the hat?  I'd appreciate your brainwork.

Thanks
Ilana
