Produktinformationen "A Room of One's Own"
First published in 1929, "A Room of One's Own" is Virginia Woolf's seminal feminist tract, an extended essay in six parts, which combines non-fiction, fiction, and stream-of-consciousness prose into a rigorous meditation on women and writing. Central to the work is the idea referenced in the title, that, as Woolf states, "a woman must have money and a room of her own if she is to write fiction." Written at a time in which women were much more restricted in their rights than today, Woolf seeks to address the fundamental problems that hold back women in a largely patriarchal society. While largely focusing on the struggles of white, upper-middle-class women, "A Room of One's Own" still centers its argument on the need for financial independence that belies the ability for full personal and artistic expression, and in this way, if not by particular example, extends its rhetorical argument to a broader set of socio-economic circumstances. While limited in its scope, "A Room of One's Own" continues to be an important exposition on the interplay between gender, economics, and creativity.
