I don't know about the fresh and deep part, but I always appreciate praise. Because the oppression of women was so pervasive, any honest description of a day in a woman's life would probably have looked like a feminist manifesto. So I paid more attention to the honesty than to any message.

Your insights are amazingly fresh and deep. You could have easily taken the feminist trope and reworked it. I prefer to think of Mrs. Dalloway as an artist. Your willingness to grant her that autonomy is the best male response to a feminist interpretation.
