A Room of One's Own
A Room of One's Own, first published in 1929, is a groundbreaking essay that explores the intersection of women, writing, and independence. Based on lectures Woolf delivered at women's colleges at Cambridge University, the work argues that for women to create great literature, they need financial stability and a private space of their own. Through vivid imagery and incisive critique, Woolf examines the historical exclusion of women from intellectual and creative opportunities. Combining personal reflection with sharp analysis, the essay remains a powerful call for gender equality and a foundational text in feminist literary thought.
