₹77A Room of One’s Own
Reprinted in 2012 from the 1929 original. Not using optical recognition software to reproduce an exact copy of the original edition. Virginia Woolf wrote an extensive essay titled “A Room of One’s Own.” First issued in 1929, the essay is based on the lectures delivered by her at Newnham College and Girton College in October 1928. The text for the delivery of the series of lectures, titled “Women and Fiction,” and thus the essay, are deemed non-fiction. This extensive essay uses a fictional narrator and narrative to investigate women both as writers of and characters in fiction. This article is generally regarded as a feminist text and is noteworthy for its defence of both a literal and figurative space within a literary tradition dominated by women writers.

Anuradha Singh
Anuradha Singh –
‘there is no gate, no lock, no bolt that you can set upon the freedom of my mind.’
i am so, so, so grateful as a woman to live in a time where my education is an expectation and my creativity is encouraged. i try to imagine myself 100 years in the past and i hope i would be the kind of woman woolf was – someone who understood the importance of granting women equal opportunities in work and school and who bravely expressed her opinions.
and what i would give to be able to have attended the lecture where woolf delivered this speech. i will admit i sometimes struggled with reading the stream-of-consciousness style this address employs and i definitely think a verbal presentation of the essay would be much more effective.
regardless, i appreciate woolf, and authors like her, who inspired the movement for gender equality, especially in the field of literature.
