Synopsis

A Room of One's Own is an extended essay born out of two lectures that Virgina Woolf delivered at The University of Cambridge in 1928. With arresting prose, Woolf probes the boundaries of feminine self-expression in a society that seeks to restrain it. She examines the careers of female authors including Jane Austen and George Eliot, and relates the tragic life of Judith Shakespeare, William Shakespeare's fictitious sister.

A Room of One's Own endures to this day as one of the most influential feminist polemics.
