"A Room of One's Own" is an extended essay by Virginia Woolf, published in 1929. It explores the challenges faced by women writers throughout history, emphasizing the need for financial independence and personal space to create art. Woolf argues that without these conditions, women cannot fully express their creativity or contribute to literature. The essay is based on a series of lectures Woolf delivered at Newnham College and Girton College, two women's colleges at Cambridge University. Through fictional narratives and historical analysis, she highlights the systemic barriers women encounter, advocating for both intellectual freedom and the importance of a dedicated space for writing.
