A Room of One's Own

The contribution of one of the best storytellers of the 20th century to feminism.

In 1928, Virginia Woolf was asked to give a series of lectures on the topic of women and the novel. Far from any dogmatism or presumption, she approached the issue from a realistic, courageous, and very particular point of view. One question: what do women need to write good novels? One single answer: economic and personal independence, that is, A Room of One's Own. It had only been nine years since women had been granted the right to vote, and there was still a long way to go.

Many psychological and social implications are involved in this essay of such intelligent exposition; fascinating are the historical nuances that make the theme of the female condition and the alienation of women in society as relevant as ever.

Starting from a direct approach and using sharp, ironic, and incisive language, Virginia Woolf narrates a captivating parable to illustrate her opinions. A fascinating read, the contribution of an exquisite storyteller to the always controversial issue of feminism from an inevitably literary perspective.
