A Room of One's Own

'Lock up your libraries if you like; but there is no gate, no lock, no bolt that you can set upon the freedom of my mind.'

One of the greatest arguments for female emancipation, A Room of One's Own began as a lecture series at Cambridge University defending women's independence. In this extended essay, Virginia Woolf brings to life the many issues facing women of her era and pioneered the path toward a more equal future.

Passionate, insightful, and beautifully written, A Room of One's Own is a tour-de-force by one of the 20th century's greatest writers.
