Originally published in 1929, A Room of One’s Own is an extraordinary long essay that was derived from Virginia Woolf’s lectures delivered at two women’s colleges at Cambridge University. In this startling essay, Woolf examines the limitations of womanhood in the early twentieth century, as she makes a bid for freedom, emphasizing that the lack of an independent income, and the titular ‘room of one’s own’, prevents most women from reaching their full literary potential. A Room of One’s Own remains both a beautiful work of literature and an incisive analysis of women and their place in the world.
