A Room of One’s Own, by Virginia Woolf was first published in 1929.
This feminist essay argues for both a literal and figural space for women writers within a literary tradition dominated by patriarchy. First published on 24 October 1929, the extended essay was based on a series of lectures delivered by Virginia Woolf at Cambridge University in October 1928.
While it employs a fictional narrator and narrative to explore women both as writers of and characters in fiction, the manuscript for the delivery of the series of lectures, titled “Women and Fiction”, and hence the essay, are non-fiction.

Long before 'We Should All Be Feminists' by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichi, came Virginia Wolf and her immensely detailed work on why we all should be feminist. I thoroughly enjoyed, read, contemplated and agreed with this book 100%. A must read for past, present and future generations of women and ofcourse men(if they would oblige).

A brilliant piece of writing! Leave it to Virginia Woolf to write an essay in Stream of Consciousness style. Absolutely brilliant!
