Virginia Woolf: Virginia Woolf: A Room of One's Own. (English Edition), Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

Virginia Woolf's "A Room of One's Own" is one of the most influential essays of the twentieth century-a brilliant meditation on women, literature, education, and creative freedom.

Drawing on two lectures delivered at Cambridge in 1928, Woolf explores the social and economic barriers that prevented generations of women from becoming writers. Through wit, imagination, and memorable figures such as Shakespeare's fictional sister, she shows how talent alone cannot flourish without independence, privacy, and opportunity.

Her famous argument-that a woman must have money and a room of her own if she is to write fiction-has become a defining statement of modern feminism. At once personal, polemical, and deeply literary, this enduring essay remains as urgent and illuminating today as when it first appeared.

This is the English-language paperback edition of the classic book.
