In this extraordinary essay, Virginia Woolf examines the limitations of womanhood in the early twentieth century. With the startling prose and poetic licence of a novelist, she makes a bid for freedom, emphasizing that the lack of an education and independent income — and the titular "room of one's own" — prevents most women from reaching their full literary and intellectual potential. As relevant in its insight and indignation today as it was when first published, "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.
With an introduction by British art historian Frances Spalding.

Biographie de Virginia Woolf

Virginia Woolf was born in 1882. She was educated at home with her sister, Vanessa, in a literary environment. Following the deaths of her parents, she moved with her siblings to 46 Gordon Square, which became the first meeting place of the circle of writers and artists known as the Bloomsbury Group. In 1912 Virginia married Leonard Woolf, with whom she later established the Hogarth Press, and published her first novel, "The Voyage Out".
It was followed by eight others, including "Mrs Dalloway" and "To the Lighthouse", which together establish her as one of the most important modernists of the twentieth century. Woolf suffered from mental illness throughout her life and committed suicide in 1941.
