A Room of One's Own (book)

A Room of One's Own is an extended essay by Virginia Woolf that explores the relationship between women and creative freedom. Woolf argues that women need financial independence and a private space—both literal and metaphorical—to write and create art. She highlights the historical lack of opportunities and support for women writers, suggesting that systemic barriers have prevented women from fully expressing their talent. Through essays, fictional examples, and her own reflections, Woolf emphasizes the importance of equality, education, and independence for women’s artistic achievements and cultural contributions.
