A Room of One's Own

Beschreibung

Based on a lecture given at Girton College, Cambridge, this title is one of the feminist polemics, ranging in its themes from Jane Austen and Carlotte Bronte, and the effects of poverty and sexual constraint on female creativity. It justifies the need for women to possess intellectual freedom and financial independence.

Autor

Virginia Woolf, born in 1882, was the major novelist at the heart of the inter-war Bloomsbury Group. Her early novels include The Voyage Out, Night and Day and Jacob's Room. Between 1925 and 1931 she produced her finest masterpieces, including Mrs Dalloway, To the Lighthouse, Orlando and the experimental The Waves. Her later novels include The Years and Between the Acts, and she also maintained an astonishing output of literary criticism, journalism and biography, including the passionate feminist essay A Room of One's Own. Suffering from depression, she drowned herself in the River Ouse in 1941.
