A Room of One’s Own

Virginia Woolf’s playful yet sharp exploration of a satirical Oxbridge became one of the most groundbreaking works on women, writing, fiction, and gender. A Room of One’s Own [1929] can be read as a single work or as six interwoven essays, narrated in an intimate firstperson voice. History blends with narrative and memoir, creating a compelling and innovative form. But perhaps its most revolutionary aspect is its direct address: the book is written by a woman, for women. Male readers are compelled to see the world through women’s eyes, in a striking inversion of the traditional male gaze. VIRGINIA WOOLF [1882-1941] was an English author and a pioneering figure of modernism. With novels such as Jacob’s Room [1922], Mrs Dalloway [1925], To the Lighthouse [1927], and Orlando [1928], she redefined narrative form and psychological depth in fiction. As a thinker, Woolf’s essaysparticularly A Room of One’s Ownhave profoundly influenced feminist thought and the women’s movement worldwide. She remains one of the most important English-language authors of the 20th century.
