A Room of One’s Own
by Virginia Woolf
A Room of One's Own is an extended essay by Virginia Woolf, first published in 1929. The work is based on two lectures Woolf delivered in October 1928 at Newnham College and Girton College, two women's colleges at the University of Cambridge. In this essay, Woolf explores the societal and material conditions required for the creation of literature, particularly by women, and argues for both a literal and figurative space for women writers within a literary tradition dominated by men.
