A Room Of One's Own

Based on a series of lectures delivered by author Virginia Woolf at women's colleges, A Room of One's Own is an essay that calls out for a broader representation of women writers in the literary world of Woolf's time. Heralded as a call to action for women writers to carve out space both mentally and physically for their artistic endeavours, Woolf's essay has become a cornerstone for modern feminism.

Touching on subjects such as the importance of education, the history of female writers, and the taboo of lesbianism, Woolf constructs the unhealthy picture of the current reception for women's work in literature, and passionately argues for the importance of the female voice.
