A Room of One's Own, based on a lecture given at Girton College,
Cambridge, is one of the great feminist polemics, ranging in its
themes from Jane Austen and Carlotte Bronte to the silent fate of
Shakespeare's gifted (imaginary) sister and the effects of poverty
and sexual constraint on female creativity. Virginia Woolf
(1882-1941) is regarded as a major 20th century author and
essayist, a key figure in literary history as a feminist and
modernist, and the centre of 'The Bloomsbury Group'. This informal
collective of artists and writers which included Lytton Strachey
and Roger Fry, exerted a powerful influence over early
twentieth-century British culture. Between 1925 and 1931 Virginia
Woolf produced what are now regarded as her finest masterpieces,
from Mrs Dalloway (1925) to the poetic and highly experimental
novel The Waves (1931). She also maintained an astonishing output
of literary criticism, short fiction, journalism and biography,
including the playfully subversive Orlando (1928) and A Room of
One's Own (1929) a passionate feminist essay. If you enjoyed A Room
of One's Own, you might like Woolf's Orlando, also available in
Penguin Modern Classics. 'Probably the most influential piece of
non-fictional writing by a woman in this century' Hermione Lee,
