Read the passage from A Room of One’s Own . This may be true or it may be false—who can say?—but what is true in it, so it seemed to me, reviewing the story of Shakespeare's sister as I had made it, is that any woman born with a great gift in the sixteenth century would certainly have gone crazed, shot herself, or ended her days in some lonely cottage outside the village , half witch, half wizard, feared and mocked at. For it needs little skill in psychology to be sure that a highly gifted girl who had tried to use her gift for poetry would have been so thwarted and hindered by other people , so tortured and pulled asunder by her own contrary instincts, that she must have lost her health and sanity to a certainty. Based on the underlined words, what is the author’s perspective in this passage?
