Writing, Freedom and Woman

The narrator has finally finished her process of thought and one word nags at my own thoughts: freedom.

According to the narrator:

•  a writer is a creator
  
•  freedom is necessary to write 
  
•  freedom is found within money and a room of one's own 
  

If the narrator is right, and freedom is necessary to write, one must possess money and a room of their own in order to create or be a writer.

According to Webster:

Writer: (n.) A person who has written a particular text; one that originates or creates

Freedom: (n.) The quality of being frank, open or outspoken; absence of constraint in choice or action

If Webster is right, and freedom is necessary to write, one must possess the absence of constraint and the quality of being outspoken in order to create or be a writer.

What confuses me is the fact that I sit here in a room that I share with three other women, with very little money to my name. I have very little constraint on my thoughts and creations, so in the world of Webster- I am a writer; however, in the world of 1929- I am no writer. What is it that has changed the definition of a writer? Is it the change in the definition of freedom? Is it the fact that it is 79 years later and women have the right to freedom, and that freedom is now viewed as something more than the right to a room and the right to a job?

 Since 1929, women's rights have evolved and women now possess the right to a job, the right to property but most importantly the right to think freely. Freedom used to be an idea that a women only dreamed of. In the past 79 years women have evolved into so much more then the shadow of a man. Women have come to own freedom and it is so much more then a place to think and write private thoughts. Freedom has evolved into the right to speak and create aloud. A writer no longer needs a "room of her own and 500 a year". A writer can have that if they want it, but a writer has evolved, along with the definition of "woman" and "freedom", to be one who has the free intellect to create where ever or when ever they feel inspired to do so.
