A Room of One's Own
A room of one’s own is an essay written by Virginia Woolf and published in 1929. Woolf discussed the position of women, stating that in order to publish, a woman must have money and her own room. She also makes some quotations from history to explain how it affected the literature by the domination of men and gives examples from Charlotte Brontë,
Jane Austen, George Eliot, and the other authors’ lives.
The book is organized into six sections. Each chapter approaches the topic from a particular perspective. It is impossible not to be impressed by chapter 3. Woolf tells the story
of Shakespeare's imaginary twin sister. Judith, Shakespeare's sister, is just as brilliant as her
famous brother but is a woman. She claims that a genius like Shakespeare's would not have been allowed to write in his day. The way she illustrates is definitely amazing. The conversational style of her is outstanding and lively.
“Lock up your libraries if you like; but there is no gate, no lock, no bolt that you can set
upon the freedom of my mind.” The book is written in 1929 and express the terms conditions, however, I, unfortunately, can see nearly everything which is mentioned in the book today. As a woman, I really like this feminist book. The author used her pen like a sword and expressed the truth.
