In her essay “Shakespeare’s Sister,” what prompts Virginia Woolf’s musings about Shakespeare’s sister?

A. a bishop's statement
B. something she reads in a play
C. an invitation to a speaking engagement
D. her admiration for the works of Shakespeare

She decided to "create" a sister for Shakespeare to show the plight of women in Elizabethan times.
She decided to do this after hearing a bishop say that no woman, past, present, or future, would be able to write with the same genius as Shakespeare.
Woolf disagreed and claimed that women can be wonderful writers, but the opportunities for women are not equal to the opportunities that men have.
In that case, according to Woof, if Shakespeare had had a sister as talented as he was, she would not have had the opportunity he had.

She claimed that Shakespeare's sister would not have access to education and if she knew how to write, her works would be ignored, because she was a woman, as happened to many female writers.
