Just Arrived

A Room of One's Own

by Mary Gordon, Virginia Woolf
A Room of One's Own
A Room of One's Own

A fierce case for women’s creative freedom

If you love books that feel both elegant and revolutionary, this is a brilliant one to pick up. Woolf blends literary insight, sharp social critique, and memorable imagination into an essay that still feels startlingly relevant. Readers often come away feeling challenged, inspired, and newly aware of how money, space, and freedom shape who gets to create.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

A Room of One's Own is a landmark feminist essay by Virginia Woolf that argues women must have intellectual freedom and financial independence to write. Based on lectures given at Cambridge in 1928, the essay surveys figures from Jane Austen to Charlotte Brontë and contemplates Shakespeare's imagined sister, illustrating how poverty and sexual constraint have limited female creativity. Virginia Woolf (1882–1941) is regarded as a major twentieth‑century author and essayist, a central figure in feminist literature and modernism, and a member of the Bloomsbury Group.
