"Great souls are androgynous" means that the works of those great writers are actually created under the guidance of such souls.

The book says, "In this way, there are two forces governing each of us, one is male and the other is female; in the male mind, men are stronger than Women, in women’s minds, women are better than men. The normal and appropriate state of existence is when the two live in harmony and cooperate spiritually.”

Quotation from Adeline Virginia Woolf's "A Room of One's Own". Original English text: A great mind is androgynous.

Extended information:

Woolf is known as one of the greatest novelists of the 20th century and one of the avant-garde pioneers of British literary circles. 1. A pioneer in the trend of modernist literature and feminism, even though she herself does not like some modernist authors (such as Joyce).

She greatly revolutionized the English language. She tried the stream-of-consciousness writing method in her novels, trying to describe the subconscious in people's hearts. Her literary achievements and innovations still have an impact today.

Great souls are looking for the missing part of humanity, the part that is not their own gender. In ancient Greek mythology, humans are all androgynous; in Buddhism, the Tathagata and Guanyin Bodhisattva have no gender.

Gender gives people a distinct personality but also limits them to a certain range. Men are persevering and focused, but lack sensitivity to human nature; women are pliable and sensitive, but lack persistence and concentration. Great souls can focus on the majesty of the universe and appreciate the nuances of human relationships, but they may struggle with emphasis.
