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.

Enjoyable, the first time I've read this author's work. I found her insight valuable and can see how some of her points from 1928 are still key issues for women in 2022 even if it's not as pronounced it's still happening. The author comes across as ahead of her time, and clearly intune or 'woke' to women's challenges and the mindset of the male gender. I recommend a listen, the narrator is excellent.
