{"product_id":"9780143138907","title":"A Room Of One's Own","description":"\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a pioneering piece of non-fiction and feminist thought, a concise, thought-provoking classic of literary criticism and cultural history. It argues that creative work requires financial autonomy and a private space, speaking to readers who care about gender, ideas, and social life. The intended audience includes adults and students of literature, history, and feminism, seeking a clear, intellectually energizing perspective. The tone is inquisitive, fearless, and inspiring, inviting readers to reexamine how space, money, and opportunity influence the work we value.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe content is presented as two Cambridge lectures from 1928, anchored by a fictional device—an imagined sister to William Shakespeare—through which the essay asks how much genius remains unexpressed when social barriers block access to time, education, and economic means. A contemporary introduction broadens the discussion to encompass race and class, inviting a more inclusive reading of the work's enduring questions about creative freedom and social structure.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eReaders will experience a calm, persuasive voice that blends historical context with sharp, accessible argument. The prose invites reflection rather than a quick verdict, making complex ideas about literature, gender, and society feel approachable and relevant to today’s conversations about equality and the arts. The structure supports careful study and thoughtful, personal response.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo Cambridge lectures from 1928 on the necessity of financial independence and a private space for creativity\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUse of an imagined sister to William Shakespeare as a lens for exploring untapped genius and gender barriers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eContemporary introduction expands the conversation to race and class, inviting inclusive interpretation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClear, accessible prose that connects historical debate to today’s discussions of equality and the arts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThoughtful contextual framing that supports reflective reading and literary analysis\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eReaders finish with a deeper understanding of how social structures shape creative work and with practical, enduring insights into advocating for space, time, and opportunity in their own lives—fueling curiosity, confidence, and a more expansive perspective on literature and society.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Crossword.in","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48540435775705,"sku":"9780143138907","price":523.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0648\/3066\/9017\/files\/71lrHQwVqOL._SL1500.jpg?v=1776664152","url":"https:\/\/www.crossword.in\/products\/9780143138907","provider":"Crossword.in ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
